I know it looks bad to not waive your right to see a letter of recommendation. I plan on waiving those rights. Does it look bad to not waive your right to see your institutional evaluation?

I think it probably looks equally bad. The institutional evaluation is really just a letter of recommendation from your dean. I waived all of my letters/evals and then the writers let me look at them after the fact. I think that is probably a pretty standard affair.

Here's what I did and it worked good, so I recommend this line of action in your case: Type up a bad-ass evaluation for yourself. Make crap up if you think it'll help.

Then you go straight to the Dean and be like, "Holmes, I'm tellin' ya' I'll only waive my right of access to your 'so-called' Institutional eval if you type this up, WORD FOR WORD, and submit it for me!

And then you dramatically shove the paper in his/her face while forcefully poking them in the chest for emphasis.

Then say somethin' along the lines of "You'll thank me for this, one day! You'll Thank Me!" Give a reverse head nod, Turn on your heels, and strut outta there like you've got a sack of grapefruits hangin' 'tween your knees!!!!

Good luck, and keep us updated!🙂

Not sure what difference it really makes, as I have never had a bad letter sent to me in a packet. Waiving your right to see a letter from a person you know will write something good is not a far reach. The institutional letters are pretty dry, so not really a big factor, unless you are in the top 5 of the class.

I'd at least waive the institution letter, but ask if you could see your GPA, class rank and boards to insure the accuracy. A friend of mine was rejected from schools and didn't find out until his first (and last) interview when they commented on his 71st class rank....when he was actually 17th!!
