So I’m applying to 6 schools, two of which are Brown and BU for my MPH in epidemiology. I plan on getting recommendations from my boss who I do research with currently–she has her PhD from Brown in epi. The other recommendation will be from a BU professor who teaches at the School of Public Health there. Will these recommendations help my chances significantly at the respective schools? How much do LORs even matter?
