<p>i had asked for a recommendation letter from my professor a month ago and i have given him 2 months to write. Should i do anything (like e-mail him to check for the progress) from now till to the deadline which is a month later or just don't bother him?
Moreover, since i have not decided which graduate school i am going to apply, should i ask for many copies of the letters?</p>
<p>Odds are he’ll have to submit them online directly, so I’d say figure out where you want to apply, get the application process going, and then give him a sheet with all of the deadlines on it. Then periodically remind him of ones that are happening soon.</p>
<p>but i have not decided where to apply yet, i thought i just take his letter first and i will decide what to do with this letter afterward</p>
<p>The professor doesn’t give you letter directly, he sends it to the schools you’re applying to. A lot of places strongly suggest you waive your right to see the letter, I guess it isn’t really required though.</p>
