How long does it take to get a recommendation letter?

Is a month enough time for a letter of recommendation?
Although at least a month is preferable, more is better and less than two weeks is unacceptable — and will likely be met with a “no” by the faculty member. The ideal time to give a letter writer, though, is anywhere from one to two months before the letter is due with your submission.

- Offer to Help in Other Ways.
- Be Honest.
- Tell a White Lie.
- Focus on the Positive.
