Hey guys so I want to transfer to NYU this fall and they only require one recommendation letter; however its optional to send a second one. Am I at a big disadvantage if I only send one for the requirement and not two?
And if I want to ask a professor for a recommendation letter, how long after the first class before I should ask for it?
Please help me!!! Thank youu!
I would think the quality of the letter is most important. A professor who had you for an entire semester or longer will be able to write a much more effective letter. If you think this second professor would write a good letter then, if you have time before submitting application, get to know the professor a little bit and tell them you are thinking about transferring. Most professors are understanding and will be more than willing to help you out.
Good luck!!
