Hi,
I am applying to the Graduate cohort this year and I am aware that you require two references from those familiar with the student's graduate research (usually members from the graduate committee).
It makes perfect sense to me that my primary advisor should provide a reference but I am not sure how good of a reference someone on my committee would provide.
I have interacted with them at lab social events (usually with a lot of alcohol), two presentations and they have marked some of my written work. My lab manager would probably be able to provide a much better reference as she sees me working in the lab on a daily basis.
Anyone applying to the graduate cohort or that has applied through the graduate cohort in the past, could you please provide some thoughts and or advice?
Thanks!
