Hi!

Do you think it's better to waive our rights to inspect recommendation letter? What did you choose?

Thanks,
Lisa

I waived my rights to see it. I just didn't see any advantages for not waiving.

It depends on the normal practice in your country, but I would suggest waiving your rights, especially if letters of recommendation are normally confidential in your own country - otherwise it may appear that you don't trust the referee (since the referee gets to see whether or not you've waived your rights).

Thanks. Actually, I don't really know if letters of recommendation are normally confidential in my country (France). I think I will follow your advice and waive my rights.
