Hi,
Quick question: When I filled out the section of my online application for recommendations, I was prompted with the option to waive my rights to view my recommendation letters. I did not waive my rights because I didn't think it would make a difference either way.
But now I've heard that if you don't waive your rights, the committee will assume that you're looking at your recommendation letters before they're submitted and that you don't trust your recommenders. Is this true??
Can I contact the school to waive my rights now considering that neither of my recommenders has started writing their letters?
Thank you for any insight you can give me.
