Hi, I’m applying for fully funded undergraduate scholarships abroad, but I’m facing an issue with my Letters of Recommendation (LORs).
My school has no experience with international applications. After several requests, my principal finally agreed to provide school letterhead for my LORs. My teachers are willing to review and sign drafts I prepare.
I have to change “i recommend (my name) to (university name 1) university” to “i recommend (my name) to (university name 2) university”. This small thing is forcing me to make another lor and get school letter head on it as well.
I am in stuck in a tight timeline to apply so, any help would be very much appreciated
I’ve shortlisted 12–15 universities, some requiring one LOR and others two. Since some universities prefer being addressed by name, I may need 30+ versions of my LORs, each requiring separate letterhead.
My questions:
1. Is there a tool to edit the university’s name on a scanned LOR without distorting the document?
2. Is there a better solution, such as using a general LOR for multiple universities?
3. Do universities actually require institution-specific LORs, or is this just a preference?
I’d really appreciate advice from people with firsthand experience applying to international universities or competitive scholarships. Thanks!
Note: ik i as a student shouldn’t be able to see lor, but in my case I’m writing it coz my teachers aren’t good in english and it’s very common in india, so I’ll prepare it based on your good advices and get school letter head on it accordingly.. and send my teachers those pdf, so universities who require teacher to submit it, that would be done by my teachers and those who require students to submit it- that would be done by me.
