Hi,
I'm planning on applying for the upcoming cycle (fall 2011). Currently, I'm in the process of obtaining letters of recommendation from my professors.
Couple questions:
Is there a set format that medical schools require, or should I simply ask my professors to write it as they would write any Letter of recommendation?
Do these need to be sent to medical schools directly, or will I be holding on to these until i send in my application?
Lastly, how many should I obtain? I know a lot of schools don't require more than 2 LOR's. I have 4 professors I'd like to ask, and a fifth if you count the committee letter. Should I ask all of these professors to write one, and simply select the ones I feel are strongest?
Thanks for your time!
