I need 3 LORs, and I already know 2 I'm definitely going to use: 1. A professor I had for 3 classes, and that I was a teaching assistant for twice. 2. A researcher (PhD) in my school that I was a research assistant for. (though i'm going into the medical field) I am currently volunteering at a hospital (i am going for my MSW, but at the hospital, I volunteer with geriatrics), and my supervisor said she would write a letter for me, but should I try to get another professor instead? I know she'll write a great letter, and the other professor I'd use is someone I had twice and don't really know personally. There's also an older grad student who said she's write a letter for me, but I think my supervisor's letter would weigh more with the grad schools. Who do you think would be the best candidate for my third LOR? Thanks!

One of my applications for an MSW program is due Jan. 1, and I'm afraid I won't make it ont hat exact date. What would happen if my LORs were about a week late? Also, my other apps are due in Feb. and Mar. Is it best if I finish them all by Jan. 1? Because I'm guessing it'll be rude to ask my LORs to write one letter and then send them about 3 more next month for the other apps. Thanks!
