Research Experience:

Going to do Student-Faculty Collaborative Research in the summer with two of my professors mentioned above, and it is feasible to be published (top 50 Journals) and, if published, I will be listed as co-author

Safety: Don't know yet (recommendations will be appreciated :))

 

Worries:

Even though my letters from two of my professors are expected to be strong and in favor, but they are relatively unknown and both assistant professors at a small liberal arts school. Is it better to get an okay letter from a relatively well-known professor than a strong letter from a relatively unknown professor? I always thought the former would be better but please share your opinions!

 

Any evaluations/input would be appreciated!:)
