Recommendation Issue

Applying to College
1

<p>Okay,</p>

<p>I have a professor and I asked her for a recommendation letter. Did well in her class, and she remembered me immediately when I contacted her via email (been out of college 2 years now). We set up a time to meet and I ended up being 30 minutes late. Needless to say, she was not impressed. At the onset of the meeting, once I finally got there, I said “Due to my actions today, please let me know if you’re not willing to write a recommendation for me.” She replied, “that’s what this interview is for.” Interview went well, we ended up shaking hands at the end of it and she sent me on my way.</p>

<p>When sending her the form I wasn’t aware that the standard protocol was to waive reviewing rights, so she sent me an email telling me to fix that before she would write the letter.</p>

<p>My question is, I feel that I have given her ample opportunity to get out of writing this letter should she 1) not want to or 2) feel that she couldn’t recommend me. Is there any chance she will write me a negative letter though I have given her these outs?</p>

<p>You felt good after your conversation with her, don’t worry about the letter. It will probably be fine.</p>

<p>Wishing you all the best.</p>

<p>I’m sure she would have been forthright if your behavior had outweighed your performance during the interview. I can’t believe that a Prof. would write a negative letter based upon one lapse.</p>
