We've all been there: you ask someone for a recommendation letter, and you hope for the best. But what if you start noticing some bad warning signs?
First off, if the person seems hesitant or doesn’t remember key details about your achievements, that’s a red flag. Also, vague or overly generic language can indicate that they’re not fully invested in your success. Finally, if they’re late submitting it or make excuses, it might be time to reconsider how solid that recommendation really is.
Trust your gut! If something feels off, it could affect your applications.
