I took a science class for which a graduate student was the sole instructor (he's still working towards his PhD). Can I use him for one of the science LOR? Does his faculty advisor need to sign it or something?

If you're going to get a letter from him (I wouldn't suggest it) I'd make sure someone with more clout can sign off.

I wouldn't use that letter. Kinda says you can't get anyone better to write you a letter, which could be a big red flag
