Whats the difference between marking “to see” or “not see” on my letter of recommendation forms?
A. Letters marked “to see” are open; administrators know you can remove letters that aren’t favorable. “Not see” letters are confidential – you can’t see them, and we can’t tell you what’s in them. (While it’s tempting to mark them “to see”, administrators still prefer confidential letters. Note: make sure you ask your references if they can provide you a positive letter of recommendation. If they say no, ask someone else.
