I've been asking for feedback on my unsuccessful application, and I've been occasionally told that I should rule out the possibility of a "Bad" letter.
But, what is considered a bad letter?
Does it ever happen that a recommender intentionally write something negative about the applicant? Something that could, potentially, sabotage the application?
Wouldn't they let you know if they were not going to write a supportive letter?
Or, is a letter consider "bad" when it is superficial, generic, too short, unenthusiastic and not addressing the prompt?
Also, how important is the English proficiency of the recommender? Could the 'applicant' be judged if there are technical mistakes in a letter?
