Should I waive my right to see my recommendation letters for a grad school application?

Don't worry about how you look, but how you feel about it. Would you prefer to know or not? I would rather read them. I am a worse critic of myself than anyone else, so if there is something negative to say, I can do that myself already and am not afraid what others may say or think. \n\nIf you want you can ask your sources what they prefer and follow their wishes.

Unless the school specifically tells you it's okay (the ones that do usually state it on their website), I wouldn't advise it. They already have to wade through so much paperwork, they probably won't appreciate extra. Honestly, 3 is enough. Choose professors who will write with three different perspectives and who know you best.\nHowever, if you're determined to send more, contact the department directly and ask. They usually list a contact on the program's website.

A clearence letter for what?

You should just go back to the places you put your applications in and check with them, who knows, they may still need someone. Good Luck.

When your first application is turned down through over subscription you need to appeal.  Make your appeal heartfelt. Your son's friends have already been accepted for this school. You feel your son will do better in a single sex school with his friends because he needs to be educated away from his sisters (if any) and his sporting abilities need to be encouraged.  ie: he is an excellent cricketer, footballer, archer or tennis player etc and you feel that a mixed school will stifle these abilities. Ensure that the school concerned knows you have attended all school activities at his old school and volunteered for absolutely everything to help fund raising etc etc etc.  Make your letter erudite and to the point, no waffling or flannel.  If the appeal panel think you are of good education yourself, they are more likely to look favourably upon your application. Thank the panel nicely following your interview and withdraw gracefully.  School appeals panels do love good manners. He will probably get in.

I can't offer you any examples (that would be a violation of policy and ethics), but I can tell you what you should include.\n\nWho am I (education, experience, awards, skills, distinctions, etc.)?\nWhy am I interested in this field of study?\nWhy am I particularly qualified for graduate study in this area? How have I prepared for study in this field?\nWhy am I interested in this particular program?\nWhat is my potential specific area of interest? Why?\nWhat are my interests or influences in terms of theory?\nWhat are my long-term goals?\n\nAnd for goodness sake, PROOFREAD for grammar and spelling errors!  Your application statement should be in PERFECT English (or whatever language the program favors).\n\nIf there are any blemishes on your undergraduate transcript, or gaps in your preparation, explain them.\n\nAlso, it's always a good practice to show familiarity with current literature in the field, *especially* if you are not submitting a current writing sample.\n\nOne other piece of advice: Tailor each statement of intent for each program. Speak with your current professors before you apply, and ask about the strengths of various programs. You should already know which scholars are of greatest interest to you as mentors, but it is always wise to ask current professors if they know these scholars. (You may learn that Professor XX, while brilliant, is a lousy mentor for grad students.) \n\nHope this helps!

You are supposed to send transcripts from all the schools you attended, but it's not like CSU DH or UCLA will verify whether you actually did submit all the transcripts (they receive hundreds of thousands of applications every year, it's impossible to verify that kind of information ... and no, they are not all linked by a computer network).  You do, however, sign your application stating everything in your application is true and correct, meaning you are technically lying to DH/UCLA by not including the transcripts.  But I really doubt they will give you a hard time over a transcript that's 10 years old.  Most of the time, anything older than 10 years is worthless anyway.  You can call the admissions office and ask whether you need to include a transcript that's 11 years old and if the answer is no, then you are home free.

Just go ahead and ask for the reference letter. Ask her if she could have it ready by your last day. If she said she would give you one, you shouldn't feel weird about asking for it. Most employers are happy to give reference letters. I do it all of the time when my students or workers decide to move on.

If you have a really good reason for having so many w's, it might not be a problem, but the school will almost definitely ask you about it when you apply...  Just make sure you tell them the truth, because they will probably contact your old school to see if you are.

Yes, they would let you go in a minute if it was good for their business, what is good for your life? You do not have to list them on any application form.\n\nDoes it feel morally wrong, do not do it and tell the 2nd employer that you told them the hours you were available, but they have messed you up.\n\nYour choice.

You do not need to push her.  Obviously, you have already contacted her, and she is aware of the deadline. \n\nI realize you are nervous about your application, but surely she has written letters before, and is aware of the necessity of getting the letter in on time.  Pushing at this point will only be annoying.\n\n(And honestly, late letters are usually not a problem anyway.  Graduate admissions committees usually cut professors some slack.)

Sure, it's possible, if you're doing something brilliant and breakthrough, but it's highly unlikely. Anything you submit to a professional academic journal is reviewed by other professionals (Ph.D.-holders) in the field. If they come across a paper or abstract by some random kid they've never heard of, they're going to pass it over real quick. If you're enrolled in a master's degree program, however, it's a different ballgame: you have connections and advice through your professors, and, of course, the power of the institutional name behind your own.\n\nMy advice to you is to read read read everything in your area of specialization you can get your hands on. Join some scholarly organizations (associations, societies) if you can (though some of these require that you're a student). Do some volunteer work. After you write the personal statement you'll be required to enclose with your grad school application, ask friends and old teachers to critique it. Then revise. If you make a good impression with the personal-statement essay and admissions thinks you're sharp and fit for the academic world, nothing else will matter.

Cover letters states your intention (which job position you are applying for).  You should also state why you are applying and why you would be a good candidate.  You do not need one in every case but you should certainly have one if it is asked for.
