Negligible. Also, just get all three. You don't really need a professional recommendation since you just graduated, but it never hurts

This. If you think they'll all be good, then get all three. Why not?john1990 wrote:Chose who will write the best lor
Just remember that you are applying to be a student, so professor recs are usually more relevant. But since it is professional school, professional recs can be a good supplement and can maybe differentiate and strengthen the app. I'll bet the affect is negligible though, because LS admissions is very predictable on a pure numbers-based scale. The recs probably just need to not be bad and maybe can provide a marginal boost, if really amazing.

In terms of letters of recommendation, the safest bet is to ask those you know will write you a good, solid letter which will allow the admissions committee to see how you are as a student and member of the community. You may ask all three if you feel each will write a great letter.
You may always contact the schools you are interested in applying to and ask their stance on it, what the admissions committee prefers, and whether it will make a difference.
