Importance of professor's status
Posted: Mon Dec 15, 2014 1:32 pm
I need some input one which one of these professors I should get to write my last letter of recommendation:
Professor A: PHD from MIT and a very impressive resume. Knows me fairly well, but I did not do too well in his class. It will be a few weeks before he is able to get it to me.
Professor B: New professor, not much on his resume. Knows me well and I excelled in his class. He can have the LOR completed in a few days.
I'm not looking to go to a top 50 law school. I will be in the top 25 percentile in LSAT and GPA of the schools I am applying to so I don't think acceptance will be an issue, more worried about scholarship. Does it matter which one of these professors wrights my rec? Will it play a role in scholarship money at all?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
