<p>don’t get a letter from a grad student or post doc.</p>
<p>why? because professors have told me that those letters don’t count for *****. is that good enough? post-docs are not their peers, so their word carries less weight. they also have no real experience writing admissions LORs, so their letters are weak and lacking the detail the adcoms want to see.</p>
<p>or just go ahead and do what you’re going to do.</p>
