Referee and Recommender

Hi everyone

I am seeking your honest opinions here

Can a referee endorsing one of my mandatory criterion evidences double up and write me a recommendation letter?

@Denu_Bon

Honestly, it’s not advisable for the same referee to endorse one of your evidence documents and also write a recommendation letter. TN treats these as two separate types of letters, and having both from the same person can look repetitive or weaken the independence of your evidence. I believe they want variety in voices, perspectives, and credibility.

All the best.

Thank you so much, Raphael.
I’d look further into this.

@Denu_Bon you cannot do that for reference letters within criterias but you can instead use them as LOR where they can cover your contributions and impact cutting across different criteria.
