mseph Posted November 9, 2014 Posted November 9, 2014 Hi, I posted this thread in letters of recommendations, but I thought those in political science might help me too. So I am just copying and pasting it in this forum. In case it's not appropriate to discuss LOR here, please let me know! I will try to remove it or something.. My question is: I found that there are some schools accepting optional fourth letters, so I thought why not. I can ask four professors who know me well enough to write letters and I will comment to the fourth letter writer that the letter will be fourth so the number of schools they need to submit won't be a lot. I have two letters for the two of the three required. I am debating who should be the third letter writer and who should be the additional fourth. The two professors for the last two are: one professor in my department who does outside of my subfield and one professor outside of department who is more relevant to my research area. My emphasis is international relations--and I am particularly interested in international political economy. The first professor is American politics professor, who is interested in political economy but mainly American field. The second professor is from Economics department who does international economy. Also, the second professor is on my thesis committee (my school requires at least one faculty outside of our department to be on thesis committee). Does anyone have advice on this?
