For example, if a school requires a non-science faculty letter, are some open to accepting a non-science, (but non-academic) letter if asked?
For the upcoming cycle, I have a variety of science professor, lab PI, and MD letters, along with one non-academic letter, (from my previous boss of 3 years), but zero non-science faculty letters. I'm far removed from classes now, so I'm not sure what I could do about fulfilling a non-science faculty LOR requirement.
I plan on contacting the schools I apply to next year with this type of requirement and explaining my situation, but I'd like to know now if anyone has had success with this.
