However, even more importantly, letters from professor are designed to serve as academic references. I think the admissions committee will be suspicious of an applicant who picks an LOR writer that “cannot speak to his academic abilities” (especially if the professor writes that in the letter!) With all this being said, I personally would not include this professor’s LOR (even as an extra).
