Transfer Recommendation Problem

Transfer Students
1

Hi,

So, I’m applying as a transfer and you need two professor recommendation letters. I asked both professors a while ago, but one of them still hasn’t submitted. I emailed her yesterday and also had the CommonApp remind her last week but she hasn’t responded to me. The app is due this Friday. I’m not exactly sure what to do. If she doesn’t turn in my recommendation by the due date, what might happen? And should I instead somehow find someone else to write a recommendation within three days?

Thanks!

Ask another professor. Or e-mail them again, or go to their office hours. Be pro active.

I agree with UCtransfer951. You will have to be proactive about it. If your professor happens to submit the letter late, it should be ok because I believe there is a grave period. However, I would contact the specific schools you’re applying to to confirm
