Hi everyone,
I am applying for a research award and I am having a dilemma about which letter of recommendation to use due to a situation where I had to find a new recommender last minute! I already have two recommenders-- one from a PI at a research facility that I've worked with ~2 years and a faculty professor that I've done research with as an undergrad.
Here are my options:
Recommender 1 (Research Coordinator) : Have interned/worked in research lab with them for ~2 years; may have to write the draft letter (which I have the potential to write a strong one) but I already have a letter from her boss (PI)
Recommender 2 (Professor) : Have only worked with her for a short period of time for an independent research project; said they are willing to write a letter but doubting how strong it'll be due to short history
I was thinking of using #2 since I already have the boss of Recommender 1 writing me a letter?
Please help!
