I find myself in a bit of a pickle here...
I have one professional and one academic letter ready to go, both of which are quite strong. The academic letter is from a former TA who is now a professor at a different university, but his recommendation is really thoughtful and supportive. I know a faculty member's recommendation would look better...
I had also planned to include a professor that I'd taken three classes with during undergrad, but when he responded to my email request, he said, "I do remember you, but not as well as I should. I'd be happy to write." Understandably, I've been out of school for three years and it's been four years since I've taken a class with him, but his email was less than encouraging. I'm wondering if I should not include his letter in my application...it seems like a gamble. Any advice would be super appreciated.
Thank you thank you for the suggestions!
