31 y/o non trad who is 10 years removed from undergrad studies.

I moved 2000 miles away from my undergraduate institution after completion of degree to pursue my professional interests. I have not had any contact or communication with my schools alumni network in a decade.

Thus, my question is, as a non trad in my 30's, is a letter of recommendation from an undergrad professor a requirement? Nobody there has any knowledge of my professional or personal growth in the last 10 years.

So....undergrad LOR????? Yes????? No????? Thoughts????

(Yes I have professional LOR's which are outstanding)

Thank you in advance for any opinions or insight.

Most schools only require academic LOR's from students who are straight out of undergrad. I think I've seen some schools ask for academic LOR's from students 1 or 2 years removed from undergrad. If you are 10 years out, your professional LOR's are all that's required.

no, of course not

Most schools, at least all the ones I applied to, said that they preferred academic LORs. But all of them also had a visible disclaimer that they realize some applicants have been out of undergrad for awhile and work references are fine for them. You're in the clear . . . adcomms are not naive, they don't expect someone 10 years out of undergrad to try to grovel an old Prof for an LOR.

Thank You.......I simply wanted to verify my assumptions. It's much appreciated.
