if u got accepted or not, or the fact that u applied or not....do they get some type of email.....
b/c the thing is that i got 3 good LORs from prof but unfor couldnt apply this yr......so if i go and tell them that i did apply but got rejected will they find out that i never did apply......i mean i just dont want them to feel bad that they wrote LOR for no purpose
anybody know....
I feel sorry about that. But, could you rethink on your decision looking at moral and ethical perspective. I am not saying that lying is good thing to do. But, at the same time, i am not saying that tell the truth to your prof. and let them feel bad about their wasted efforts.
Your profs will never find that out if you applied in pharm schools or not. So you can lie and cut this one moment of sad or bad feeling of their wasted efforts from their life.
Or you can tell them the truth and let them experience the moment that you did not want them to.
Or, you can think it differently like: when you tell them the truth that you did not apply this year, they will feel proud about you for being honest and letting them know which otherwise they would never have known.
Or, in the worst scenario, they might feel that you were not as serious about pharm school or you may be very much careless than they thought and sad part of the story is that you still wanted them to write a strong recommendation letter next year too and you do not want them to feel like you are careless.
There are so many ways to look at the issue. i do respect your intention for not letting them feel about their wasted effort. Had i been in your shoes, I would have thought about the same thing. You do not want to hurt others so do i.
In interview for pharmacy school, you might be asked about ethical dilemma or moral dilemma you have faced in your life. You want to answer them as well.
Take it as an opportunity of self growth and find the best answer that you think justify your act with minimal adverse effect.
Life will never be perfect unless you think it is perfect.
