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?
