Letters of Recommendation

[Sparda29]

Does it hurt your application if you did not waive your access to see the recommendation?

it means you don't trust your recommender to write you a good recommendation.

Usually, the references will give you a copy. Thus, waivering to view your letters is very common.

I think the admission committee may find it odd if they notice it. Since, they have so many information to look at, they may not even see that you did not waiver it.

I guess the bottom line is, since it's already done and you can't change it. Don't worry about it. There's so many aspects of the application that is taken into account and this one thing isn't a huge factor in the review process.

Keep yourself busy w/ hobbies, so the wait won't drive you crazy.

Kudos to you for planning ahead. I got my volunteer experience through the local hospital and they are very flexible with working with students' schedules. You are very motivated and a self-initiator, I'm sure you will find a pharmacy experience soon.

I waived my right to access it, so I have no idea what it says. I just wanted to know if I would be screwed if I did the opposite.

My boss was like, "did you like it", I was "huh, oh i'm not allowed to see it."
