My chemistry professor said he will write me a reference letter, but it's been a month, I alreayd "remind" him using email twice, he still not submit the letter yet. And that's the very last letter I am waiting on.
And I plan to apply more schools after he finished that. Now my schedule is all messed up.
I know he is busy but.....


what will u do in this situation?

Go talk to him... That's what I had to do. I e-mailed mine a couple of times telling when the deadline was, and nothing! Then I went to his office to ask him how the semester was going and then asked him about the letter. He told me he will have them done the next day and he did. So you might get lucky if you go and see.

I'm in the same situation! I requested my reference from one professor on july 31 and she has yet to submit them. All of my other references have been sent off in a timely matter. If my reference has not been received by next week, I am going to request for someone else to write it. If I were you I would begin to compose a list of alternate professors who can write your letter, but it is important we respect their schedules and understand that these professors are very busy!!!🙂
