LOR Writer Selection Forum

[mattf]

Is there a specific type of person that I should look for when getting LORs? I'm a Chemistry major so would it be better for me to get letters from Chem teachers or from the Poli Sci classes I will be taking here soon?

It's better to get at least one professor from your major. It's suspicious if you don't.

I recently wrote a guide that may be able to help you http://www.takeyoursuccess.com/how-to-r ... ad-school/

This is true, but I wouldn't sweat it too much. I've always been under the impression that LORs are just a box you have to check and will by no means make or break your application.
