My school allows 5 letters for the committee letter. Two science, one non science, and two of your choice.
So far I have:
-2 science and 2 non science professors that all know me pretty well and have done well in their courses and still keep up with.
For my last letter I'm split between asking my boss or my PI. I've worked for both for about 2 years now.
I'm leaning towards PI because I'd like that boost for research schools but I work in a huge lab and don't work directly with the PI. I do see him often and have casual conversation with him all the time so he knows who I am and that I'm there all the time helping out with things. I was thinking the grad student or post doc I've worked with (both in the same lab) can maybe write it and get a co sign from the PI?
My boss directly has meetings and trainings with us so might be in a better position to write one? But i think my professors can already speak well enough about my work ethic which is why I'd prefer the lab related letter.
