Which LOR's to use

[ant]

So I have 2 letters from prof's and 1 letter from my work (I work for a small investment banking firm). My academic letters are probably stronger 'cause the profs love me and want me to do grad work. My work letter is a little weaker 'cause my boss thinks I'm an idiot for leaving a great job to go back to school (he doesnt say that in the letter or anything, he just didn't put a lot of heart into it).

I want to use the academic references but I just wonder if it would look bad to not use one from what I am doing now (work). I graduated last year, so the academic ones aren't ancient or anything.

Any thoughts?

Well, LSAC will send a max of 3 (as of last year when I applied) I would just send them all in.

Now you can send four LOR's.

im thinking that some schools only let you send 2 in..and ive heard that schools want academic recs over work recs

I've heard as much as that work recommends aren't useful, and that unless you've been out of school for a very long time (over 5 years), they want to see at least two acedemic. And that's assuming the work recommend is equally as strong.

Because yours is weaker, it's a no-brainer. If they only allow 2, send in the two profs.
