When I feel I can't write a positive letter in support of a student, I won't write a letter. I never say I'm too busy, but I do say that someone else may be a better person to ask, could write them a better letter. I suggest applying this year, finding others, even TAs, to write letters for you, and see if you get accepted. If your applications are not successful, changing your career path now vs. a year from now is a better way to go. Good luck. | |
