where do you get letters of rec

Graduate School

<p>I'm a junior, and I'm starting research with 2 professors next semester. If all goes well, I will do some good work in those research positions. I did do some research for one of these professors fresh-soph years, but I was working with a scientist who was working part time, and it turned out that neither of us were very committed to the project, and not a lot of results were produced. So forget fresh soph year research.</p>

<p>My plan is go get 2 letters from these 2 research professors. Where would the 3rd one come from, and how do I make sure they're good ones?</p>

<p>Generally, addcoms want to see letters of rec from people you have done research for, if possible. You didn’t say what your area of study is but for example: I am an engineering student so I am getting my third letter from the lab director of my department (you may have taken classes with labs?). I haven’t done research with her, per se, but she has seen me do lab work and that’s almost research sort of haha. Otherwise, I think plenty of people round out their LORs with a professor they impressed or something like that.</p>
