I don't see anything "desperate" about any of this, nor do I think it would be a problem if there were. On the other hand, waiting till September gives him only about a month of time for the letter, which is almost too little and may be an inconvenience for him. By asking now, you give him the option to work on the letter during the summer, when he may be less busy than during the term. | |
| Aug 13, 2019 at 17:48 | comment | added | Daniel Li | I thought it might be a little too early since I will not submit application until October. My thought now is to wait till September and send a second email explaining that I understood he was busy in the summer etc. I'm worried that follow-up with another email immediately and further asking for a reference may seem too "desperate". | |
