So there is someone I would like to ask for a letter of recommendation and I do think it will be positive but I'm scared about them mentioning any negatives. I don't want to risk anything.
SO I was thinking this… I would ask them for a LOR for one of the many things I'm going to apply for during my gap year (clinical job, research position, etc.) and then take a look at the letter myself. If it's all good and dandy, I send it in. And then a few months letter ask for the letter of rec for med school (which I will not have access to).
If there's even the slightest mention of something bad, I'm thinking about just not asking the person at all.
Is this bad?
