Hi everyone,
Anybody here, who is getting a committee letter, worry about it? Like, maybe you don't know everyone on the committee, or that one prof whose class you didn't do well in is on the committee, and you're afraid their recommendation will be lukewarm and it'll hurt your application? I also have a fear that while my LOR writers are people who know me well/ like me/have good things to say about me, that they may write lukewarm letters or mention "that-one-time-I-messed-up" or something.
Anybody have this fear? My profs seem to like me and I don't think they would do that, but I just...idk. It's one of those things that's mentioned when someone doesn't' get any acceptances/II's and it's like, you can't know beforehand.
I'm not losing sleep over or anything, just something that's floating in my mind.
