Asking The Professor To Write The Letter Of Recommendation Page 3

Should you get a copy?

Some professors provide students with a copy of the letter they sent. Some don’t have the time. Ask

ahead of time if you’d like a copy - to see if your professor is willing to provide it to you. Whatever the

decision of the professor, respect it. If they’d prefer not to disclose the letter’s contents to you, then

don’t push it. If you’re sure they wrote you a positive letter anyway (because you checked ahead of

time, remember?), then rest assured they did. No one will write a letter opposite from what they

initially promised (unless you did something truly horrific  in the meantime).
