mountaingirl135 Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 I worked for 2 years after graduating with a CSD degree and am now applying for fall 2019. I'm asking 2 professors for LORs but was wondering if it'd be appropriate to get my 3rd LOR from my employer. I work at mortgage company and plan on highlighting skills I learned from the professional experience in my LOI but I'm not sure if getting an LOR from my supervisor will help/hurt me. Any advice is welcomed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HTM18 Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 I would contact the program coordinator of the university/degree your applying for. Sone universities specify on their website they require Academic related LOR but some don't. I would ask to be on the safe side. Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joannly Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Most programs I applied to only required two professors. If you believe that your supervisor can give the best recommendation from any other options, you should definitely get one from them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordyn_M463 Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 I had 2 professors and my employer that I worked part-time for throughout college write mine. None of them were even related to the field of CSD or SLP. I was accepted into 3/5 schools I applied to so it wasn't really a problem. I wouldn't let anyone scare you by saying you NEED 3 strong letters from people in the field! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
