Here's my issue - I asked a former professor for a recommendation and received a very enthusiastic reply. However, he says that he is busy, and will happily sign a letter that I write myself.
I know this isn't too uncommon - a friend of mine is applying to Law School and ran into this same situation.
I would like to have someone write glowing praises about me, but there's no way I would write something about myself that goes anywhere beyond utilitarian.
Has anyone here had to write their own recommendation? How do you approach such a situation?
