I am reposting this because I have yet to receive a response in the the correct thread:

Non-science Adjunct LOR vs Professor LOR
Does it matter if we get a non-science LOR from a adjunct professor w/ a master's degree or a regular professor w/ a Ph.D? With the Adjunct, I was the only science major in her education class, so I definitely stood out and the class was much smaller (most recent). In the Ph.D.-level english professor class, I was the only non-english, science major but I don't know if I stood out as much in her class; other than not being an english major. Both knew I was interested in medicine and neuroscience. The recency is only by a semester b/t them. I took the american lit class last winter trimester and the education class last spring trimester? Any advice? Otherwise, I would go back and ask a psych professor from 4 years ago. I did well in both classes and was very attentive and personable.
 
They prefer professors. The more tenured the better. But you may not have it held against you if you have other good letters
