AI Thread Summary
When applying for graduate studies in the U.S. and Canada, securing strong recommendation letters is crucial. It's common to submit letters from professors, especially those with whom you have had positive interactions and performed well academically. While having letters from research supervisors is ideal, it's acceptable to include professors from whom you've taken courses, particularly if you have good grades and meaningful engagement with them. Many applicants successfully include a mix of recommenders, such as research supervisors and professors with whom they have had substantial discussions or teaching experiences. Overall, a diverse yet relevant selection of referees is standard practice and should not raise concerns.

Hi all, I am applying for graduate study in the states and in Canada. I have to submit at least three referees in the application. So far I have worked for a professor, and he promises to write a strong recommendation letter for me, but I am worried about the others. I have approached three of my professors who have taught me in the past. My grades in their courses were very good. Do you think it is fine for my applications?

I'd try and get letters from any academics you've done research with over lecturers, but you can only do what you can do. Try and pick those you interacted with the most.

I think that's fairly standard among graduate school applicants. You're not expected to have worked with three different professors independently in a research context.

Yeah I wouldn't worry about it. For my recommendations one is a guy I've done research for, one is someone I helped teach a class for, and another is just a guy I've had many interesting conversations with.

Currently I have finished addition ,substraction of 2 digit numbers and divisions, multiplication of 1 digit numbers. I am moving pretty slowly. Can someone tell me what topics to cover first to build a framework and then go on in detail. I want to learn fast. It has taken me a year now learning arithmetic. I want to speed up. Thanks for the help in advance. (I also...
Hi community My aim is to get into research about atoms, specifically, I want to do experimental research that explores questions like: 1. Why do Gallium/Mercury have low melting points 2. Why are there so many exceptions and inconsistencies when it comes to explaining molecular structures / reaction mechanisms in inorganic and organic chemistry 3. Experimental research about fundamental Quantum Mechanics, such as the one being followed by Hiroshima university that proved that observing...
guys i am currently studying in computer science engineering [1st yr]. i was intrested in physics when i was in high school. due to some circumstances i chose computer science engineering degree. so i want to incoporate computer science engineering with physics and i came across computational physics. i am intrested studying it but i dont know where to start. can you guys reccomend me some yt channels or some free courses or some other way to learn the computational physics.
