When you ask a professor to write you a LOR, do you have to provide them with your transcript? I understand why you would give them your resume and personal statement, but why the transcript? The reason I am asking is because I am embarrassed about some of the grades which I have received. I know that teacher is supposed to write the LOR based on how you performed in their class and on what they know about you, but I'm afraid that seeing my gpa might bias them a little bit into thinking that I'm not as great a student as they thought. Help! Is it necessary to give them a transcript?
