Because of my situation, all of my LOR's are from employers and coworkers. Now that I've read these forums I'm very worried about this as a weakness on my application. I did this because I'm a couple of years out of school and I never really took the time to get to know any professors very well in my undergrad, and I usually had huge classes. I figured 3 recommendations from people who know me very well are better than generic recommendations saying this student received an A in my class.
I'm applying to several mid-range 30-70ish M.S. programs in electrical engineering. All of my LOR's are from my current job, which is an electrical engineering job, though not directly related to what I want to study in grad school. All of my LOR's are absolutely stellar, as I picked people who really love my work.
If it matters, these are the credentials of those I had recommendations from:
Fellow (technical equivalent to Director) /Senior Manager of my department
Senior Member of Technical Staff (tech. equiv. to Sr. Mgr.) with a Ph.D. in E.E. from a top 10 US school and some experience as a professor in China.
Member of Technical Staff and Section manager (former direct supervisor) - This guy loves me
Am I screwed here, for M.S. app? Also, do the recommendation forms typically provide space for recommenders to discuss their qualifications? Any insight will be greatly appreciated.
