Hello all,
I am hoping to get some advise regarding my letters of recommendation for my application this cycle. Since last cycle when I didn't get accepted, I have been volunteering and doing other things to strengthen my application and gain some experience. During the last cycle, my LORs were:
1. Science professor
2. Non-science professor
3. Science lab TA, co-signed by professor who is the head of labs
4. Physician Shadowed, head of radiology department at a famous hospital
5. Head professor of research group which I was a part of for 1 year. In this group I was part of a publication and wrote a thesis for graduating with honors as well.
Since last year, I've been volunteering at a free clinic where I got to know the medical coordinator well. I asked her for a recommendation letter and she said she would write me a good one. So now I have a 6th letter which is written by someone who knows me well and can write well about me.
Out of my old letters, I have to keep the first 3 as a requirement, but now I have to get rid of one of the last two to make room for her letter. I don't really know how well those letters are written because neither of the authors knew me well. Which one do you think would be best to get rid of, or should I just keep them and not include the one from the medical coordinator?
Thank you in advance for your help.
