  1. Hello everyone! This is my first post in this forum, and I’d like some advice for my LoR writers. I’m applying to some genetics programs, most of which require three LoRs. One of them should come from PI of my current research lab, but I’m kind of unsure about the other two. For the second one, I’m thinking about a Professor who I took two classes with, and in both in I ranked top2/50. I went to his office hours several times and he is also well-known as a very nice person,so possibility is high that I can get a decent letter from him. But the third letter is what I keep struggling on. One option will be the instructor of a class I TAed before who is also a Professor, and the other is the PI of another research lab I’ve worked in. I know that going for a PI in research lab I worked before is always a better choice, but the problem is that I didn’t do many things in that lab so the PI could even not know me.Also,the research is completely irrelavant to the area I applied for. As comparison, I had a decent interaction with the other Professor and he at least knows who I am, and he is in a relevant field. I’ll appreciate any suggestion on the choices. Btw, is it really a requirement for two letters from lab PI for top programs? I’m kind of sure that my first letter from current PI will be a very strong and personal one, so is a second letter from a PI in irrelavant field really a plus? Thanks for any responses!
