Would a Chem. lab professor be a good person to ask for a letter of rec? Also, would it be appropriate for the TA to contribute to the letter? Thank you! :wink:
 
I had lor's from my o.chem lab ta, my physics lab ta, and my o.chem professor. I got in, so it must be ok.
 
I would get the professor to co-sign the letter. Some schools (Albert Einstein comes to mind) won't accept letters from TA's.

I felt like having a ta do it would give them a lor from a person I had more interactions with and it would make the letter sound more positive. Just my opinion, though.
