So, I worried for months about whether I would be able to get 3 LOR writers. Since the beginning of my post-bacc course work, I strategically thought about the best way to ask my targeted professors and tried to to give them a good reasons to say 'yes' when I asked. Well, it worked!

Now, I found myself blessed with the dilemma of having 4 LOR writers willing to write me a strong letters. 3 from CSD profs and 1 from an audiologist who supervised my volunteer work as a newborn hearing screener (I volunteered at a research hospital with a good reputation).

So, who should I choose? Is 3 CSD profs always the most desirable or should I put my other letter from my supervisor in the mix for variety? What about applying for the grad program for the school I'm attending right now?

Here some stats that might be useful. My undergraduate GPA is weak: 3.47. CSD GPA is 3.90. Taking GRE late this November and although I'm strong in verbal, I'll be lucky to get above the 50th percentile in quant.

not sure where youre applying to but im guessing SLP? then 3 academics is better in my opinion. 

audio is kinda not 'really' related so i think 3 csd would be strongest

Not sure what programs you are applying to, but if any of them are CSDCAS, you can have up to five recommenders! You might not need to choose. I'm applying with 4 (3 professors and one former employer in health care). That way, you wouldn't have to choose. I'm also applying to a program that only requires 2 recommendations, but requires 2 more to apply for a graduate assistantship, so I needed 4 anyway. 

If none are CSDCAS, or the schools you are applying to do not allow more than 3, I would personally go with the professors.
