letter

Hello, I have a question regarding the recommendation letter from a science professor. Ideally, I would like to receive a "Personalized letter," but unfortunately, I can only submit one of the following two "Generalized letters": 1) Molecular and Cell Biology II (one semester): Received an A...

i was out with some friends from the lab i work in and one of them who has been there for a while told me that the PI will agree to write a LOR but sabotage people in them so the person applying doesn’t get in and will continue working in the lab for them. she gave me an example of a prior lab...

Hello everyone, I was wondering how to proceed. I will be taking my MCAT in June, and my school requires a minimum 500 MCAT for a committee letter interview. By taking in June, I will have the score by July, and the GPA requirement is a 3.5. Is it considered late? My plan was to submit...

The AMCAS application portal literally says after you submit you can only mark letters as "no longer being sent"...how do I do that? I'm looking at AAMC's directions and the option to mark them as such isn't even on there?? Can someone help me? Am I just blind?

1) My school doesn't have a neuroscience department, but my major has an emphasis in neuro that I took psychopharmacology and cognitive neuroscience for (both in the psych department). In terms of LOR, could these count as science faculty? I asked my pre-med advisor and he said it depends on the...

I was wondering if asking for a letter of recommendation from a priest I have grown close with would be frowned upon by adcoms. Much of my ECs have come from serving at my church in various activities for many years. I believe he could write me a strong letter of recommendation because of how...

Hi, I am still waiting to hear back from 9 schools. I know its super late and I really don't have much hope, but I guess it would be worth a try. Can anyone give me advice on how to send a letter of interest? At this point I will take any help. I've had one interview this cycle but was denied.

Hi I was curious how I would go about writing a letter of interest? Are we talking about email or hand written? Also, i haven’t heard from almost 10+ schools it’s been complete silence so should i assume silent rejections or..?

Hi SDN. I'm stuck with my situation and would appreciate your help. Reasons I should ask for a letter from this research experience: Mid-author on late breaking abstract published in high impact journal and a couple conferences The research supervisor, who is a DNP, and the PI said they wanted...

I’m currently a 4th year Biology major thinking about potential recommenders to write red letters for med school. The two professors that I took Physics with know me pretty well, I did very well in their classes, and I’m fairly confident that they will be able to write solid letters. Is it bad...

Title says it all. I tried looking online, searching through forums. Does anyone give some tips on contents for letters of interests to programs that I want to interview at but haven't received the invite?

So I recently switched over to dental school. I have gotten my one science letter of recommendation but my second professor retired and I am unable to reach him about the letter he promised to write me :(. So i am searching for another science professor but I was never that close to any of my...

Hi guys, I went to admission day at IUSO on 9/7 and they give you a 2 week timeline as to when they will tell you their decision. I was wondering if I should be expecting an email or a letter in the mail? They just told us to expect to hear from them in the next two weeks

May be a stupid question, but does the usual required letter of evaluation for dental schools have to be from a general dentist, or could it be from someone such as an oral surgeon with a DMD degree?

I was wondering if anyone sent a thank you letter after your home SubI. PD? Chair? Both? Handwritten or email? If relevant, this is for a surgical subspecialty.

I will be applying next year but want to get all of my LORs compiled now, so that I don't have to wait for all them to be sent in when it's time and deadlines are near. Can i get them all now? Or do the writers have to submit them personally themselves to TMDSAS when it's time for me to apply...

does anyone know if LECOM requires a DO letter post interview? It was mentioned years ago on an old thread but there website says it is not required.

Hey everybody. This is my first post. When it comes to asking for letters of recommendation very early (2 years before applying), what should I ask my professors? It is far too early for them to send it through AMCAS. So should I ask if they will send it to me, or hope that they write it now and...

So here's my situation: I submitted AMCAS already, with 1 non-science and 1 science letter already in (+ research, + clinical volunteering, + leadership letters). HOWEVER, my other science letter writer has not responded to me in the past month, since I gave him the link to the AMCAS letter...

After reading through the Letter Requirements for many DO schools, I've noticed that some of them point out that they require at least two letters of Recommendation: either 2 from science professors and 1 from a physician, or a committee letter and a physician. The DO I shadowed sent his letter...

For SUNY, I know there is a requirement of two science professor recs, an optometrist rec, and one from a prehealth committee. For the science professors, would a letter from my Orgo lab professor count? I'm not very close with my lecture professor even though I visited his office hours...

OLD THREAD

Hello, everyone! So, everywhere I read everyone seems to have the same general advice regarding recommendation letters, namely, the "basis" being 2 recommendation letters from a science professor who gave you a grade, and 1 from a non-science professor who gave you a grade. I know people...

Hey everyone, I will be applying for Dental School in the upcoming cycle. I am getting a LOR from an instructor at my 4 year university and another from a dentist. For my third letter, I was thinking about asking my chemistry professor (PhD) whom I have kept in contact with for over 3 years...

I know that on average, schools typically ask for a letter from two separate dentists. I have 3 to choose from and I'm not sure which to ask. 1. Dentist who I shadow 90% of the time at one of the practices in my university's town. She really likes me, she has gotten to know me well, and has...

I've been fortunate enough to receive a couple acceptances, but I haven't heard from my top choice. I wanted to send in a letter of interest with a couple of updates. I was recently hired to continue as a TA for the spring semester (didn't mention this in my app), have had some research progress...

Hi! I would really appreciate it if someone just read over this short email and reviewed it for me! I know the follow up emails don't make a difference in the admissions decision but I want it to be as good as possible! :) *ALSO if you're confused about the second paragraph, a question I asked...

I am currently doing research in a lab under a graduate student mentor and the Ph.D. PI does not really know me that well and I have never taken a class with him. Should I get a recommendation letter from my grad mentor alone? Or should I try and have the PI cosign it? Thanks for your inputs

Hello! What is the best way to ask for a letter of recommendation for professors I have previously had when I don't know their Office Hours? Do I show up unannounced? Or send a professional email asking them to "Set up a meeting to discuss the possibility of a letter of recommendation?" I'm not...

hey guys, So I’ve read that some people recommend sending thank you letters to the interviewers post-interview.. I never even thought about doing this. Am I the only one who hasn’t done this?

I interviewed at Vanderbilt late last month and as we were wrapping up, the admissions person told us that we could supplement our application by sending a letter of interest to the school. She made it very clear that this was not meant to be the same thing as a letter of intent and that we...

Hi Friends, Wanted to get your opinion as I start the wonderfully arduous processes of prepping my app for next cycle. My university (graduated in 2016) offers alumni the opportunity to apply for their pre-health committee in which current or prior students earn a committee letter at the end of...

what is the criteria to send letters of interest to schools. If i have not heard anything (interview/rejection) from a school when is too soon to submit a follow up letter to a medical school. as for content in the letter, if there is nothing new to update on my application that isnt already on...

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...
