eventuallypac Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Hi guys! Reapplying this cycle. I had an LOR last year from a professor that I had a strong relationship with. However, I have not really maintained a relationship, and at this point it has been about 2 years since I even last saw her. Considering I am graduated and have no other professors I could ask for an LOR from, should I just ask her to resubmit that one for this year? I really would have no other academic reference. All other LOR's I have are strong and from providers I have recently worked with/work with now. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janie55 Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 I would contact the professor, get caught up and if this goes well, ask them directly if they felt comfortable either writing another letter or resubmitting the previous one. Your catch-up conversation will tell you a lot, if they would be a good person for you or not. If schools you are applying to specially want one from a prof, then I’d just ask her outright since you don’t have any other options. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UGoLong Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Also think outside the box. If you've been out of school for a while, you may know someone in education who never taught you, yet knows you well enough to speak to your scholastic skills. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
