<p>Did you give them a letter writing about outside of the classroom accomplishments? Or did you just emphasize reasons why you'd like to transfer?</p>
<p>I didn't give one out and I kind of think it'll hurt me.</p>
<p>I went to talk to mine and asked if there was anything they needed, and they both asked me to tell them what I wanted them to emphasize, etc. I was extremely late about getting that info to them, though, because I got the flu and was totally out of it for a week. So don't worry; you're not the only one biting your nails about it.</p>
<p>I'd recommend emailing them (if you still can) and asking if you can do anything to help). It's also nice, if they're mailing the recs themselves, to give them addressed, stamped envelopes, but I'm sure you knew to do that. Good luck! </p>
<p>(If they knew you well, and it's too late to do anything, don't waste time worrying about it hurting your chances.)</p>
<p>I wrote a letter saying why I wanted to leave my current college, and then a paragraph for each college I was applying to, and ended summarizing my future goals and ideas and how it would be better for me to leave. The tone I used was a little more personal and informal because I knew the prof pretty good, and I made sure to make NOT seem like a commercial for the college. When I gave a reason of why I wanted to transfer, I used real reasons that I really cared about. </p>
<p>I didn't write about my accomplishments because recs are meant to be about the prof talking about you in the classroom...the colleges already see your accomplishments in other parts of the application. </p>
<p>I don't think it will necessarily hurt you...it all depends on the person writing your rec. I think to write a letter makes it easier for the prof, and shows that you are dedicated and whatnot. Goodluck</p>
