Self-study
I am submitting applications for the second time this fall, with the plan to attend law school in the Fall of 2027. I have two letters of rec that I used last cycle from my college professor and college debate coach. I have been working for almost a year now as a legal assistant, and I am trying to decide if adding a third letter of recommendation would help for my applications (for places where three are accepted). If I do include one, I would also need to decide if I ask someone I work with now or a professor from college. Does anyone have advice on how to decide the number of letters and who to ask?

I'm no expert, but I would think about the dimension that each (potential) additional letter would add. Will the other college professor be able to gas you up in a different way than the first professor and debate coach, or would it be a lot of repeated information?
As for number of letters, it seems cliche, but quality over quantity is always the guide. If you think a letter would add something substantive, go for it!
@PhoebeHopp Thank you!!
