Can I use a LOR sample from a senior who got into the same uni?

Guys quick question… is it ok to take a LOR sample from someone who got into the same grad school i’m applying to?? Like not copy exactly but just to get the format n what kinda things they wrote. Found some lor samples for students online too but not sure if that’s safe to go with?

Yeah you totally can… I did that for my cousin’s uni lol. Just don’t straight up copy it, coz unis use plagiarism checks on LORs too sometimes. Better to just understand the flow and how they hype the student.

Depends, if it’s from the same dept or course you want to apply to, then yeah it helps a lot. Profs usually wanna see specific stuff like research interest match, not just general praise. So samples help you guide your teacher a bit better.
