I spent my last two years of undergrad at an Ivy after attending a community college and a public university for my first three years. I've been out of school for six years and am applying to master's programs in public policy this fall. I'm currently determining whom I should get recommendations from. I need two academic recommendations and have one lined up. So I still need one more, and I could get one from another Ivy professor, but one of my community college instructors whom I've kept in touch with over the years has offered to write a recommendation as well. As you can probably imagine, it was much easier to make a lasting impression at the community college than it was at the Ivy, and I'm fairly certain that my CC instructor will write a stronger recommendation than my Ivy professor. So what should I do - get what would probably be a stronger, more insightful recommendation from the CC, or get a recommendation from a Ivy professor who had me as a student in a senior seminar?
