<p>There is one program that requires the applicant to send the LORs. The director stated it would be best if you can read your LORs instead of having your professors send it without you reading it. So this pretty much takes away the confidentiality of the LORs and your ability to waive it and most schools don't do it.</p>
<p>So much question is. If I apply to this program and other programs that I have waived my right to read the LOR, will applying to this program have an effect on my waiving of the others? </p>
<p>Technically, if I read the LORs for one school, I've pretty much read them all.</p>
<p>Seeing your letters before you apply has nothing to do with waiving your right to see them after you enroll. </p>
<p>You have a legal right to read all of the documents in your university file after you enroll, unless you waive that right. By signing that paragraph, you are giving up your right to march into the Dean’s Office and demand to see your complete file (including your letters of recommendation).</p>
<p>Yes but what I’m saying is. Since this one program basically requires me to read and send it myself, wouldn’t that make me lose credibility in the other programs I applied for where I waived the right?</p>
<p>I understand what you are saying, but those two issues have absolutely nothing to do with each other.</p>
<p>You are waiving your right to demand the letters from the university administration after you enroll (which is your legal right, unless you waive it). You can do that regardless of whether or not you have seen the letters before. </p>
<p>Some professors let their students read their letters before submitting them. The students still have a choice whether to waive the right to see those letters again in the future. The point of the waiver is to make sure that students don’t have access to the letters behind a professor’s back (so that references can feel free to share their honest opinion). Nobody cares if your professors voluntarily show you their letters.</p>
