That's a good point. I have already pinpointed parallel reasoning as a huge weakness. (If it goes higher than 1 star, I am basically dead to rights). It's interesting to see how people can view things differently.
I would think the adcomms won't go into so much detail with who exactly the professor is, just as long as it's stated in the LOR. @david.busis will have a better response.
I'm going to work on my applications (LoR, personal statement, resume, etc) for a couple of weeks and then decide whether I'm going to re-take once the scores come out.
I emailed them some articles (including recommendations from the admissions starter course) on what a good LOR has in it. I didn't give them anything else. But much like @"Alex Divine" I know my recommenders very well.
