Definitely diversify. I had 2 letters from previous professors (I graduated 3 years ago) and had 1 from an employer. If you wrote a paper and recieved a good grade from one of the professors, attach it to the email. I did this and the professor found it super helpful. Good luck!!
I feel like I am spinning my wheels here, but a minor traffic violation aka my speeding ticket doesn't need to be reported with this statement: "Have you ever been convicted of any offense, excluding minor traffic and parking violations, or is any such charge now pending against you?"
Admittedly, I am in a bit of a jam. I am 3 years out of undergrad and reached out to two of my professors (whom I was close with) about writing me letters of recc. Neither has gotten back to me about if they'd write me a letter (followed up with one once and haven't followed up with the other yet). I have one professional letter of rec coming from my work, but am worried if I submit my applications without an academic reference. Any ideas on what to do next? Should I reach out to more professors? Or is it okay if I only have professional references given I have been out of undergrad for so long?
Thank you so much!!
