4th rec letter, leave it off?

Post by carl1 » Tue Nov 03, 2015 8:28 am

I have 3 great LoRs. Two professors from undergrad, and the ceo of the company I work for now. I am also getting one from a friend of my brother's who I have known for a while. He is a lawyer, went to a t20, who can speak to my character, but we have not worked together in any professional sense. I'm thinking about leaving this letter off, and I would only be using it as a 4th letter on a few apps anyways.

Leave it off?

Leave it off unless it highlights some personal quality not shared elsewhere that you would like known. Based on the info. shared above, leave it off.

Leave it off

The two prof letters are all you need, unless a school specifically requires 3
