How do I remind my professor to write that letter of recommendation?
I’m in the process of getting all of my recommendation letters in for various schools with different deadlines, and I have one professor who always has to wait until the day before the deadline for each school before she submits. She’s genuinely concerned about me going to grad school and is probably one of my best referees; she just happens to be really forgetful about that sort of thing. I’ve been sending her reminder emails about a week before each deadline, and another reminder 1-2 days before the deadline if it hasn’t been submitted yet, and it’s worked fine.
