LOR writer credentials

[yungdoc]

How big of an issue would it be if one of my LOR writers from community college does not have a PhD? I believe he only has his Master's.

He knows me well and it would be a really strong letter otherwise.

Thank you!

I’m interested in seeing the replies to this.. I’ve got some similar letters.

I’d also like to know this. Do LOR writers need certain credentials? Are those credentials different for committee letters?

A strong letter from faculty with a master's degree, who knows you well, trumps a generic PhD's letter.
