I had a question regarding letters of rec. I have a letter from 2 science faculty members who taught me, a supervisor at work, a DO, and I'm looking at one from one of my anthropology professors as I'm an anthro major. The only issue is she is a grad student and does not have a Ph.D yet. She has taught me in two different classes and knows me well outside of class from office hours etc. Would this hurt me since she doesn't have her Ph.D?
