jkimee Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Hello Everyone, As many of you are, I have been trying to prepare for the next round of applications. This is my first year re-applying and was wondering what to do about letters of recommendation. I feel that I have three strong letters, is it necessary or recommended that I get new LORs? What about the personal statement? I was granted an interview last period, so I feel that I only need to tweak my essay versus re-writing it. In no way am I trying to be lazy, I just really like what I wrote. I think I already know what everyone is going to post about this, but please voice your opinions. Thanks in advance!

cinntsp Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 You need to rewrite your essay unless you aren't applying to any of the same schools. Either way, you will want to tweak it and update it to show what you have spent the past year doing.

greenmood Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 You already know you need to rewrite your personal statement. I can tell, you know it. The schools who rejected you read your rec letters. Think about that. In your shoes, I would approach my writers and ask them again. If you think the letters are strong, give them an opportunity to be stronger and (importantly) up to date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
