Is there a non awkward way to ask to look at letters of recommendation after the fact? (I.e. after the recommendations have been submitted)

No the letters remain a black box. You let them go. They are meant to be confidential.

Would only ask if you have an actual reason to know. Like I was on waitlist and asked to read letter to see what I could put into the updated submission so my recommender let me read

Don't waive your FERPA Rights 😂

It will be awkward anyway you ask.. don’t

You could maybe ask what stories were used if you’re trying to connect all your stories. I think asking for high level storyline vs asking to see actual details is a less awkward move

I made C 1 year out of college, but not sure if Adcoms will "notice" that, or just see me as a 3 YOE C. I feel a 3.5 YOE SC is a meaningful difference, but Stacy Blackman (robo email) says to not update adcoms. Thoughts?
