Can candidates use current RAs as a reference?
Yes, they can, but professors, deans and work supervisors are preferable. Keep in mind that, from a professional standpoint, it is generally not a best practice to ask relatives or personal friends to serve as references. It is also appropriate to ask a reference’s permission before listing them as such.
