<p>I don’t expect my profs to do all the work for me. I’ve done everything on my own. I just thought that advisors usually like to help out their students with things like evaluating their chances, telling them what professors they know at another school, etc. So I thought that because other profs I didn’t know showed more interest in helping out than my advisors, I thought this was a sign that they didn’t think too highly of me and weren’t going to write great LORs.</p>
