I am planning on taking the LSAT in October and then applying during the upcoming cycle. I go to a small, private, liberal arts school in southern California and I am wondering how much these LOR's will help me (I am planning on using 3).
1. My uncle is the President of the University and said he would be glad to write me one.

2. I have a good relationship with one of the prominent professors within my department as well as with the department head (i.e. they know more than my name and where I'm from)
3. I also have a double minor and have a good relationship with the head of that department as well.
While I am at it, I'll ask about softs as well.
I played College Baseball for two years at this school as well. I came back from a shoulder surgery that required me to do rehab three times a week at a location 20min from campus. I only stopped playing after the fall of my junior year because I was going to need an elbow surgery. Would this be considered a soft/would LS's look favorably upon it?
Thanks guys!!
