QUESTION: Will having a recc letter from a professor teaching at the same deferred program I'm applying for have significant sway?
CONUNDRUM: I'm applying to the Kellogg deferred MBA program (max 1 recc letter). I'm unsure whether to get a recc letter from my internship supervisor vs. a Kellogg professor. I don't know who has the more favorable view of me, but the internship supervisor likely knows me better as I've worked more closely with them than the professor. I only met the professor because they also teach undergrad (I go to Kellogg's undergrad school: Northwestern) but our interactions have been confined solely within the classroom.
There's likely other Northwestern students who've worked with Kellogg professors that probably be submitting them as their recommenders as well, so I'm not sure how much it would make me stand out. Plus, the adcom prob knows this professor teaches undergrad so that might reduce the "wow" factor of an undergrad getting a Kellogg professor recc letter. Maybe I'm overthinking but thank you in advance for any advice.

FYI for anyone reading be mindful not to ask adjust professors - who are sadly an increasing percentage of those who teach. Do this ONLY if you have a deep relationship with that professor.
Why? I am a former adjunct business professor who turned down requested recommendations because I was paid less than if I were to load fruit trucks in Mexico on an hourly basis. $800/month at a good state school. I usually had 50 students per class.
even a deferred MBA applicant should NOT be going to professors for recommendations unless he or she would be better than *internship supervisors* in speaking to your aptitude for business leadership.
