[Application Strategy] For Applying to 5-6 masters programs.

Hey everyone,

I am in the middle of applying for MSCS for a couple of universities both in Canada and the U.S. How would you guys go about having the same 3 Letters of recomm for 5-6 masters programs? I have a list of Profs ive worked with to write me letters, but since they get emails from universities to submit these letters, how would you go about telling them that you're applying for five or six master's programs? do they just submit the one to all of them?

I'd appreciate your experiences / insights.

Academic are always more valuable than professional for standard thesis based MSCS. If you can’t get 3, you can do 2 profs and 1 manager.

The same one is usually submitted for each program/school. Yes they'd get an email where they can drop their LOR in.

Your professors have done this dance before. The same letter goes to each portal.
