does the nonscience need to be from humanities?
what if i don't have any research?
no it doesn't have to be from humanities. I would consider a letter from a research mentor still a science letter.does the nonscience need to be from humanities?

I think the consensus is
2x science faculty
1x non-science faculty
and others.
You don't necessarily need a letter from a physician unless you are applying as DO.
As for an additional letter, I would get one from PI who you have done research with.
And as for faculty letters, you just need to spend some time with professors you like and ask them.
I asked my physiology and biochem professors even though I did not know them too well, but they were more than willing to write me letters.
For non-science letter, I asked Honors seminar professor who I maintained connection throughout college.
Sorry to say, but yes, you'd be right. 2 sci + 1 non-sci is almost a necessity. Some schools will take 3 sci LORs, but many require 1 non-sci and even more like to see at least one.Wow so a doctor LOR isn't needed? Will they at least help? I have at least 2-3 doctors who can give me great LORs...
It's a non-science faculty that's going to require some more work for me... :\
I graduated in May 08 and am not/was not really close with any faculty. I can try to build a relationship over the next few months, but what do you all think? How and who should I approach this problem?
I've been told I need the following LORs:
2x Science Faculty
1x Non-Science Faculty
1x Doctor
1x Other
Are LORs universal in terms of what different schools require?
is a non-science rec any class outside of a qualified BCPM course? does it have to do nothing with science also excluding health sciences like nutrition?
