Do professors hate writing multiple LoRs?

AI Thread Summary
Applying to competitive colleges often requires multiple Letters of Recommendation (LoRs), with some students submitting ten to fifteen applications. It is common practice for recommenders to reuse existing letters, especially if they have a good rapport with the student. In today's digital age, recommenders can easily upload the same letter multiple times, alleviating the pressure on students to secure new letters for each application. This approach can simplify the process and reduce anxiety about requesting multiple recommendations.

I'm not exactly in college yet but will be soon. Looking at several threads, reus are extremely competitive, especially for freshmen. Many say to apply to ten or fifteen of them. But is it typical to send that many LoRs for one student?

Here's a secret: those of us who have written Letters of Recommendations before, we simply just print out more if you need more. Or in these modern times, we just upload as many times as needed.

Zz.
 
Yeah whenever I've needed LORs from one teacher, I just told him to use the old ones again lol! But we're pretty close so it's cool, I don't how well that would work in a more formal relationship.
 
Haha thanks for the reassurances, I would have had a panic attack plotting on how to ask them for multiples!
 
Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
