Hi Everyone,
I am going to be applying next application cycle, and had a question about Letters of Recommendation. I have four professors that I'm considering, but since most places only take 3, I need to narrow it down.
Prof A: Knows me personally, knows my research, all in all great LoR
Prof B: Knows my work on the less relevant paper, and has collaborated with Prof A, but has worked with me less and knows me less well personally
Prof C: Knows me personally, known me for 4 years, able to speak to my character and has worked with me quite a lot (although primarily EWB with supplementary research)
Prof D: Knows me personally and has offered to write a glowing LoR without yet being asked, but has less experience working with me on research projects.
Relevant info: I have one published paper that is relevant to what I would like to study and one submitted that is less relevant. Authors on the papers go as follows
More relevant paper (published): Myself, Prof A, others
Less relevant paper (submitted): Myself, Prof B, Prof A
My question is, which profs should I focus on for getting my LoR from (setting aside for a moment the instances in which it depends on the school to which I'm applying). I appreciate the input!
Good luck to you all in the coming weeks!
