committee letter

My school does not limit the individual rec letters that can go into the committee letter, but I've received some advice to keep the committee letter primarily academic/dentist. I am a career changer so I have strong recs from some prestigious employers from my business career that I would...

Hi, I graduated with a BS in Computer Science and formed very positive relationships with some CS professors. I worked with them on multiple research projects and did well in their course. I believe they can write a strong LoR to package in my committee letter but the university is requesting 2...

In May, my school's pre-med committee asked me to submit a list of activities with descriptions + hours of each activity. For one activity, I said I did 400 hours since that was how much I had completed by the deadline in May. However, on my primary (which I submitted in June) I said I did 550...

How do we know whether or not an engineering course that is considered BCMP qualifies as a science course for the purposes of a letter of recommendation? After looking through several medical school LoR requirements, it doesn't seem like any really define what qualifies as "science". Harvard...

About 1 year ago, I asked a science professor for a lor and he said he would DEFINITELY write it over the summer. I reminded him before summer as well. But recently, when I tried to get a committee interview, the staff told me that I did not have the required 2 science letters. I emailed that...

Hi guys, I submitted my tulane secondary yesterday around 20 hours ago. Even though my committee letter has been uploaded for 2 weeks now they apparently don't have it. Does it take some time for amcas to provide the committee letter?

Can someone explain the general timing for submitting the primary app. I got my transcripts and MCAT score verified on AACOMAS and I'm working on the application right now. I'm almost done, but should I wait until the beginning of June? I heard that they don't start reviewing primaries until...

Hi everyone! I know some colleges like Albert Einstein require specific LOR's such as 1 from a major professor who taught you, and 1 from a non-major science professor who taught you. However, if I have to send a pre-med committee letter, and that does not include those specific requirements...

Hi y'all! I am applying this year. I have turned in my application. However, I did not realize one letter I receive from my Pre-dental society does not count as a committee letter until WesternU informed me about it. On AADSAS, there is this rule that I can only submit 1 committee letter and 1...

So I am having a Committee letter written from my University, which includes all of the individual letters of recommendation that I have obtained in a packet. My letter writers have sent those letters to my university to be included in the Committee letter. I am wondering however, do I need to...

Hey everyone, Just a quick question on the Committee Letters. My schools ranks it's pre-meds, 10% Top, Next 15% Strong, next 60% Recommend, 5% DNR. My question is this: I've come a long way academically: Started as a freshman 3.0, then did another 3 years (4th year student) and maintained a...

I'm sorry if I sound pathetic but I'm on the verge of tears. So my school gives a Letter of Evaluation to be sent to Medical School. In order to receive it we need to submit our application for it and a minimum of three recommendation letters by February 15. One of the letters MUST be from a...

Hi So here's my situation. I've worked at my schools IT center for the past 3 years and I basically have 2 bosses, one I work with every day and another who is a professor and dean at the school. Initially, I asked my daily boss for the letter since she knows me the best but recently I've been...

When preparing to apply to medical school, there are lots of details to consider! One major area of the application that causes a lot of stress are the letters of recommendation. To make the process of deciding which letters to collect easier for you, I did the research! (Your welcome.) As I...

My school writes committee letters, but they require students to open a file with the pre-med office a year prior to applying to medical schools. Since I didn't know about this, I missed the deadline to open a file and now I will not receive a committee letter. Will this look bad on my...

Hello, I will be applying to osteopathic schools this coming June and had a question regarding the pre-health committee letter of recommendation. The committee at my school has very strict deadlines to which materials must be submitted. I completely understand this and have met all of the...

I applied to DO schools last year, but when I went through the health sciences advisory committee at my university, they decided to not recommend me (my major is pre-vet, and they thought I still wanted to be a vet even though I've dedicated everything to applying to med school). Anyway, I am...

Some medical schools like, Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, require a committee letter if your undergraduate pre-professional health advising office provides them. In my experience managing a program that was initially connected to the Office of Admissions, it’s a small number of medical...

So I am interviewing with the committee in a couple of months. I plan on getting a couple more LOR from a professor and a doctor I will be shadowing next semester, after I will have interviewed with the committee. Can I have the committee letter be sent as well as sending the other individual...

I'm filling out secondary applications now and I'm working on Penn State's. They ask why I do not have a pre-health committee letter despite the fact that my undergraduate school does offer them......the honest reason is that I didn't decide to apply to med school until after the deadline for...

Hello. So here's a summary of my present situation. I applied early like the first week, finished all my secondaries as soon as they were sent to me as well. However, my school uses a committee letter and they still haven't uploaded it. It's frustrating since I went out of my way to get all my...

Hi! I have just finished one of my secondaries and designated 7 letters to that school (they didn't have a cap on letters). 6/7 letters that I sent/designated have been received by AMCAS and are very strong letters. However, the one that has not been received by AMCAS is the health committee...

Hello all, I know this is a much-posted about theme, but thought I'd ask in hopes of getting specific feedback. As a non-traditional student with a sub-par GPA not on a medical track, the Pre-Med advising office has shown zero interest in me. The people I've spoken to there have been casually...

Hey all, hoping you can help me be less dense. My committee from university is writing me a committee letter. It will contain like 6 LOR. So when I apply to places and they say "you can ONLY turn in 4 letters", does my committee letter count as 1 or 4? Thanks, sorry for the question- I know it...
