<p>ok guys… after reading the comments… I think there is some misunderstanding among us</p>
<p>there is a difference between students writing a complete letter for themselves (which is a bit unethical), versus students give the professor a sketch/draft, and then professors will go over the letter and modify/make it his/her own based on that.</p>
<p>Most of you who are against this idea is talking about the former case, however I think the latter is what’s going on, it’s a common practice and it’s not unethical, keep in mind you are not allow to send in the letters yourself. Today most of the schools use online LoR system. So the letter will finally leave from your professor’s hand, that being said, unless he is extremely lazy/unresponsible, he will go over the letter you write and make sure he is happy with it.</p>
