newgrad819 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 (edited) Im looking for schools that require only 2 recommendation letters, so far I only have 2 strong letters. I know most schools require 3 but Im having the hardest time finding a reliable 3rd LOR. In addition, my department had a huge turnover rate and that meant losing 3 professors. If you know of any schools please comment them below. TIA Edited January 5, 2016 by newgrad819 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yav Friendly Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 (edited) Why do you need 3 strong one? Just find some random one. Two strong is already enough. But you have to have 3 letters. Edited January 5, 2016 by Yav Friendly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newgrad819 Posted January 5, 2016 Author Share Posted January 5, 2016 Because that's what they require, 3 letters from professors. Also for us less competitive students we need all the help we can get. BTW NYU Tandon doesn't even have a masters-slp program Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLPgradstudent Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 I don't know if I agree with your decision to apply only to schools that need fewer than three letters. If you can't get a third letter from a professor, I would recommend asking an employer or someone you've volunteered with to write a letter for you. While some programs say they need three academic letters, I think they understand that's not always possible for whatever reason. Find a third recommender, professor or not, who can meet the requirement, rather than just applying to schools that require 2 letters. Best of luck!
