I'm applying this cycle and I will be a K-JD. I had an internship last summer and my boss said that he'd be happy to write me a glowing LOR. Unfortunately, I'm not very close with any professors that I've had. So here's my question(s):

Should I have just two LORs, one from my boss and one from a professor? Would having three (two from professors) benefit me?

Any advice you guys can give would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Many people on this site are of the opinion that LORs are not tremendously important. That said, I think you would be doing yourself a disservice by having two professors, both of whom you aren’t particularly close with, write you LORs. Adcomms won’t appreciate the extra reading of a LOR that says absolutely nothing that the others won’t address.

So only having one professor won't raise any red flags? (I have a very good GPA if that influences anything for the adcomms)

Nope.

I only had one professor (who I had only taken one class with and was not close to) and I got in exactly where my numbers indicated I would.
