LORs for Multiple Schools

Published

How do you get people to write multiple reference letters when you are applying to, say, 4 or 5 schools? I feel bad asking people to write so many letters. Plus, I have been working for my husband for the past 6 years (doing nursing) and he can't write me a LOR, so I have to go back 6-7 years to try to get references. Are there any reputable schools that only require 1 or 2 (or no) references?

If the school you apply to requires NuringCAS - it makes LORs sooo easy. On NursingCAS once your reference person submits their recommendation letter - it goes to all of the schools you apply to. I believe the LORs are valid for one year. The process of NursingCAS is a little bit of a hassle, but it solves your recommendation letter issue. Good Luck!

Ah, that does make it easier! I haven't actually started applying yet, but I'm not sure if the schools I'm applying to use NursingCAS or not. I need to go look. I don't think UAB does, now that I look at their application instructions. That would be really nice. I don't have very many people to choose from to write me references, so I hate to ask them to write me so many, but I feel like I need to apply to so many schools since they all seem to be so competitive!
