B+ Letter of Recommendation Forum

[ShadowMoses]

I know this topic has been discussed, but I'm still unsure about it. I have a decent relationship with a prof. who agreed to write me a letter when I asked earlier this semester, but I just got my grade back today and I didn't do so hot on the final. I just missed the A- mark. I had him during a previous semester and I did earn an A- in that class though. I know that he'll still write one, but I'm wondering whether I should use it now.

I have one other decent academic letter, and another glowing non-academic letter. The non-academic is from a supervisor for a 2-year mission and we worked closely together. He just happens to be an administrator at my university but he doesn't teach.

Any advice on whether I should use all 3 would be great, thanks!

You need to have a conversation with them and ask if they would still be willing to write a strong recommendation for you. If so, the grade you got isn't relevant. If you get an ambivalent answer, don't use that professor.

I don't know the relationship, but I got a B+ on my last paper for my professor and she wrote me an amazing LOR. If you're close with the professor and have done very well overall, then the letter should be positive. YMMV, I guess though.
