Do any schools require your LOR writers have a professor TITLE?

Members do not see this ad.

When browsing through school websites at some point, I seem to recall seeing at least one school requesting letter writers be "senior faculty members" or something along those lines. Anyone know if the title of the instructor matters to any schools?

I'm considering asking former science instructors who, now that I look them up, have titles like "Dr. X, adjunct lecturer," as opposed to "professor".

Does this matter?

I think they say that only to discourage you from asking TA's for LOR's.

I personally did not see any schools listing a LOR requirement of senior faculty members. Like what was said above, just don't use a TA (it's discouraged, but if you must, at least get the professor to also sign)

In short, those instructors should be fine.

Okay, good, thanks. Just waiting for another nitpick-y LOR-related thing to creep up on me. Glad this wasn't one.

Ah, perfect, thanks for the heads-up. Tried searching before making the thread, but I guess I didn't use the right search terms.
