Write my own recommendation letter?

So I asked a Professor to write a recommendation letter for a bunch of scholarships I am apply for. She emailed me back and said that she asks her students to write their own recommendation letters, email them to her and she will edit it as she sees fit.

 That's kind of weird right? 

Re: Write my own recommendation letter?

  • I knew several professors at my university who wanted to go this route when asked for recommendation letters.  I found it annoying.  I much preferred it when professors/supervisors asked for a resume or other information to help them get started.
  • Not really. A lot of people do that

    Ditto. I recently had to do this and I've heard many people have to do the same thing.
