I am in the process of getting my recommendations for NYU Stern Langone in order, and I was wondering who I should choose to write my second recommendation. The company I work for has band levels for management employees and my first recommendation will be comming from my current supervisor who is half a band level above me. For my second recommendation I can either ask my section manager who is 1.5 band levels above me and has been in the company for forty years or a co-worker who is at the same level as my supervisor, half a band level above me. The only thing is that the co-worker is a current NYU grad student in her final semester at the Wagner School of Public Service. I don't know if her being an NYU student will even matter since she is not a Sternie.
Who is the better choice, the higher level section manager or the current NYU grad student?
