<p>Okay, so I am working on my application and all I have to do is have my professors write the letters of recommendation. However, in one of my classes that I did really well in, my professor somewhat knows me because the class was so big and suggested I instead ask my TA to write a letter of recommendation because he knows my work better. Is getting a letter of recommendation from a TA okay?</p>

<p>Also, I wanted to ask my language teacher for a recommendation because he knew me very personally. However, he said he is an adjunct instructor and not a full-time professor. He said that he would write me a fantastic letter if there is no problem however. Would that be okay?</p>

<p>So...letters from a TA and an adjunct instructor...is that okay?</p>

<p>In general yes, both are fine (read the CA instructions on the IE form).</p>

<p>That said, there are some schools that want only prof LORs. This can usually be overcome by the prof ‘signing off’ on a LOR the TA has written. </p>

<p>So I suggest you look at the college websites and see if they have any specific requirements. If not, your TA and adjunct will be fine.</p>

<p>Thank you for your response. By the way, what is the IE form?</p>
