Recommender Title?

omuchmoreomuchmore Free Trial Member

I have a quick question about how to handle the title for one of my LOR writers. This person was a professor of mine during undergrad, but she is not working as a professor at this time. She is currently a fellow and a scholar-in--residence at the New York Public Library.

On the LSAC Recommender form, I'm considering these options for the "Title" field:

a: leaving it blank, letting her name and the "Ph.D." suffix suffice
b: writing in her current title
c: writing in what her title was at the time when I was her student

What do you think will serve as the best and clearest option?

Thanks in advance for any input!

    Hmmm.. I don't think it matters much as when you submit her info she can edit her title and other info as she wants. I'd say just put Professor for now and if she changes it then she changes it.

    I had a prof who was no longer a professor give me a LOR and I put adjunct professor as her title and from what I remember she left it that way.

    Can attest to what Mikey says. I left it blank for my recommender, and he ended up changing it to "Dr. Professor Man."
