LOR: professor I don't know very well or supervisor I do?
Posted: Fri Sep 23, 2011 11:20 am
I am seriously stressed about my LORs.
I have 1 LOR confirmed from a professor I still keep in touch with and 3 from supervisors. I'm 3 1/2 years out of university. I'm worried that 1 isn't enough from the selection committee's POV.
What do you think? Is it better to have a great LOR from a supervisor who knows you well or a from a professor who doesn’t? I'm thinking of reaching out to a professor I didn't know at all, but who gave me two As.
FYI: I'm applying to top 10 law schools. I'm competitive, but not an 'out of this world' candidate so I can't afford to make any mistakes.
