Should I ask my dad for a letter of recommendation for university?

Okay so my dad teaches at my college and I’m applying for master’s… is it ok if I ask him to write me a letter of recommendation for university? or will that look like bias and mess things up :grimacing:

hmm i’d avoid it tbh. like even if he’s super qualified, unis might think he’s being partial coz he’s your dad. better ask a prof who’s not related but still knows your work well. keep it clean, no doubts.

i thought of this too and my counselor said nope. even if ur dad’s a legit professor, it’s seen as a conflict of interest. they want objective views on u, not family ones. sucks ikr but better play safe
