Hello!
I have a question about letters of recommendation. Is it true that you don't submit the LORs yourself but instead, the writers will have to write the LORs online after you've applied? I thought that after the letter is written, I hold it until its time to photocopy/copy it to the application.
If it really is so that the LOR writers have to log onto a website and submit the letter there, how have you all done it? I was wondering that if my freshman lab instructor wrote me a letter already, did he write the letter for nothing? Did he write it in vain if he has to write it again in two years from now when he doesn't have that good of a memory of me? As you all fellow pre-meds understand, it can be quite tricky to maintain a relationship with a professor for two years if you don't have his classes anymore + you have to study + ECs + sleep, eat + create a solid relationship with all the other possible LOR writers.
I'm sorry if this message is very unclear but I just don't understand how the LOR system works!
Thanks for help everyone!
