I'm not sure how to go select the best profs for applying to Sociology (Masters) programs...schools recommend having at least one from a sociology department, but I'm from a poli sci major so I don't have too many options there. The programs do have a statistics prerequisite. That said, if you had an A grade with the following professors, and the number of years elapsed since you knew them, which 3 would you select:
0 years--Statistics-community college-- One online class with in-person meetings
0 years--Sociology-community college--One intro class + sociology club advisor + knows my life story from homework assignments
0 years--Nutrition-Adjunct faculty--4-yr college--One online graduate class (taken at one of the schools I'm applying to), familiar with my research/writing capabilities
5 years--Communications-Lecturer at Stanford now --2 classes, knew me well
5 years--History-Associate professor at small 4-yr college--2 classes, knew me some (grades were A and B+)
5 years--Politics-Assistant professor at small 4-yr college--2 classes, knew me well
5 years--Theology--Director of Department at small 4-yr. college--2 classes, knew me well
I really want this to be specific to what a sociology admissions committee is looking for..
