    Technically, yes—you can submit a common LOR to multiple universities if the contents are generic and make use of the phrase "To Whom It May Concern." But tailored LORs are much better.

    If your recommender is willing, ask them to include specific references to the program, course, or country where you're applying. Even subtle customization—like mentioning your suitability for research-based programs or interdisciplinary curriculum—can make a difference.

    Some universities also ask LORs to be submitted through their portals directly by the recommender. In such cases, the letter must be unique and submitted confidentially, so check in
