LSE MSc -> Professional reference?

Hi guys,

I was ready to send out my LSE MSc application when I found out I need 2 academic references. I should have seen it on the website but I didn't. I've asked a uni professor as well as my boss during my IB internship and both accepted so I thought I was good to go. I've now contacted another professor to see if he would accept.

When applying online, I still get the option to chose between an academic and professional reference. Do you guys think I still go ahead with this and send one academic and one professional one???
