hello everyone,
i need your opinion about a LOR issue, I appreciate if you could help me on this one
I'm applying to clinical phd programs (already have clinical MA degree). and by the way I'm an international applicant and writing letters of recommendation is not taken as seriously as it deserves in where I come from. faculty members usually behave like members of a superior cult, they rarely work with their students in research projects etc.
since there was not any faculty member who could know anything about my research skills, I asked a faculty from whom I had taken two courses and obtained the highest grade&prepared the most extensive term paper in his class. I got my second LOR from an ex employer. I did not have much of a choice for the third letter so I asked a peer from graduate school to write me LOR. She is an MA level clinician, we had taken some courses together at grad school, also we were in the same supervision group. I know this is a less than desirable situation, but should I be worried that my future is ruined? My undergrad psych.GPA is 3.85, grad 3.57. total GRE 1300. also have research exp. and several published papers with first authorships.
