Truth are they writing this to help with getting off the waitlist? Not sure i've heard of that being included in a LOCI before
trees1234567
19:27
people submit additional LORs
trees1234567
19:27
depending on the school tho

as a general piece of advice - whatever you wrote about your job in any material - make sure you share that w them so they can co sign that and expand on it!

as a baseline

Yeah I was hoping to submit it to GULC to get off the WL. I’m assuming most of their medians are hit so they need diversity and experience etc

19:29
@Hellwoods2025: gotcha yeah they actually offered first to try and help they’re super supportive so I’m not worried they’ll hate me and use it to screw me over hahaha

19:30
@trees1234567: gotcha when I send my supervisor the list of things to talk about I’ll include the paragraph I wrote as a “job update” for my LOCI ty
trees1234567
19:31
ofc! i feel like as a baseline recommenders can cosign whatever cool stuff you say about yourself
trees1234567
19:31
like that is always helpful and then anything else they can do is above and beyond!

19:32
Tbh I downplayed myself and more mentioned as a team we did x y and z and all that cuz I didn’t wanna come off as arrogant and be like “all me” so them backing it up or expanding on how I specifically helped even more than the “here were my notable contributions to this team effort” should strengthen I think
trees1234567
19:33
yep
trees1234567

you laid the foundation that your team is doing well and now they can highlight your leadership/contributions!
