Okay, as some of you who have read my recents posts might know, I am switching from Economics PhD to Sociology PhD, which means that I am doing another round of applications. I applied to 10 economics PhD programs exactly two years ago and now I am asking the same people (my three undergraduate mentors) to write LORS for me one more time. They have agreed. Keeping this in mind, what is the optimum and reasonable number of LORS that I can ask from people who have written 10 for me two years ago? Personally, I can do as many applications as I think is required, but my limitation would be the LORS. How many is totally unreasonable to ask in this context? What do you guys advise?
