    While choosing the recommender for your LOR for MS in USA, you must also consider the length of your association, i.e. how long s/he has known you for.  The recommender must know you for at least six months or more to be able to draft an LOR for you. While you can get it from professors or managers who have known you for a short while, getting one from a recommender who has seen your growth over a period of time adds more depth to the LOR.
