grad cafe drama, who grabbing their popcorn???

I feel like if you are flirting with the 90th percentile you might as well send them. I got a 166Q 163V and am going to send them.

I have two of my three letter of recommendation accounted for and just asked a third professor that I did research with in 2016. He told me that the letter would be short and he didn't work with me in a Political Science way, which is true. I programmed something for him in mathematica from R. I thought this could help speak to some my quantitative methods and stuff but apparently not. He offered to go through some of my material to learn more about me, but this seems like not a great idea. I can't find too many Professors to write for me because I only took classes with three tenured professors in my political science classes and one was a massive lecture. Even my 4000 level classes were taught by TAs. I could ask a post doc that I worked with for several years. He was a graduate student while working on the project but now is a post doc. We worked on a project that led to a publication so i guess that is good. However, I am already getting a letter of rec from the professor responsible for this project, so I am not sure if its redundant to get him and the post doc to write letters for me. edit: is a post doc okay to ask in political science is that okay? Or should I just stay with the guy I already asked?

Program Applying to: PEG PhD Political Science Track, Woodrow Wilson School Security Studies Track, Berkley Goldman, USC Price, Michigan, and McCourt Undergraduate Institution: Large Public State School Undergraduate GPA: 3.6 Undergraduate Major: Political Science BA and Physics BS GRE: 166Q 163V 4.5W Years Out of Undergrad: 1.5 Years of Work Experience: I did research/worked for my entire time during Undergrad and out of college Letters of Recommendation: My NSF advisor said he would write me a really good one, the other two I am not a hundred percent about. They both should be pretty good though. Describe Relevant Work Experience: -NSF Undergrad Fellowship(3 years) resulting in second author out of seven on a paper( built the website where the experiment was conducted, helped write the paper) -Research Assistant for Statistical Work programming statistics test (R, Mathematica) -Research Assistant for Black Transnationalism -Coached a debate team(I was being paid so i guess it was work experience) -intern at the statehouses for summer - Software Intern ( this was before college) Other notable experience: - I spent six months in China at tsinghua studying chinese passed HSK 4. Was planning to spend another six months there but had to flee back home because of covid. -I can program pretty well. I know web development and IOS development well enough to make stuff. -did debate for like six years before i started coaching -Took two methods classes in R while in college Got any advice or anything for me, go ahead.
