Hello everyone,
I am a nontrad that will be applying next year. My question is regarding the science LORs that I need to get in the process. I finished a degree in microbiology in 2014. I went on to get another degree in clinical lab science and to become certified, graduating this year. Generally, everyone suggests using prerequisite courses for the science LORs. I would much rather use my professors from CLS as they know me 1000 times better, and can speak of my most recent work ethic.
The professors I was choosing between taught clinical microbiology/parasitology/mycology, hematology, and immunohematology/immunology. I could also use one that taught clinical chemistry. What do you guys think? I have heard pretty consistently that people successfully recatagorize their CLS classes as BCPM, but does it seem risky? The rule of thumb I have seen is to get the best letters you can, and I know these individuals would give me such letters. Thank you in advance.
