letter

Hello all! I am currently planning to apply to pharmacy school this Fall 2017 for Fall 2018 admittance. Here are my stats: Current GPA: 3.3 PCAT: This is my first ever important standardized test, I did not even take the SAT. I am scheduled to take it on September 8th. Pre-reqs: I have...

Hi, I'm taking my MCAT on August 24th (late i know but mostly focused on DO). I heard schools won't look at your app till your MCAT scores are in, so I will most likely submit my application in the last week of August. Question- does that mean I won't need to have my recommendation letters in...

[Shortened] My questions: Do I obtain this letter myself & upload it to the secondary (as one school has implied)? Do I have the school submit the letter to AMCAS, then forward it to each school? (& will this letter count towards my letter limit at the school?) Who actually has to write this...

I've been looking around, if someone could point me in the correct direction/thread, but I have a question regarding secondaries and LOR's. When exactly do medical schools begin reading LOR's to evaluate applicant's? Do they begin when primaries are first transmitted and received? Or do they...

So I'm all done getting my LORs but I feel like I have too many. I list them out so it paints a clearer picture. 1) Committee Letter/packet Letter from committee themselves " " orgo professor (very close relationship, also did amazing in both semesters) " " PI...

Can I take classes at a CC solely for LORs? Or sign up for more undergraduate classes?

Hi all, My first post, I really would like some advice. I have been working with an EMS service as an undergraduate. I only work night shifts, 18:00 - 6:00. I rarely interact with our administrative staff because I never work a day shift. Additionally, I have yet to have a stable partner...

I recently asked one of my professors if he would be willing to write my a strong letter of recommendation, and he agreed, but replied asking me to send him a template that he can edit. He's a very busy man, so I understand why he might not have the time to sit down and write up an entire LOR...

I was just wondering if there was any sort of requirement that the DO letter of recommendation needs to be from an attending or non-training physician. I am shadowing a DO who is currently in a fellowship program, but wasn't sure if she could still write my letter or not.

Hi everyone, I took a pre-req course last semester with an awesome professor. I went to all of his office hours, and he was always super helpful. Overall, a really nice person. Worked hard and ended up with an A. Last week I went to his office and thanked him for being a great teacher and...

Hello Everyone, I am thinking about applying this application cycle after getting an "OK" from my University's Health Professions Advising Office. Right now I am filling out application for my University's Committee letter, which has a deadline March 1st. I am concerned how many letters to...

Hey all, I had a question about sending in a letter of intent to Temple University. I haven't gotten an interview yet and have gotten into NYU. I was thinking about sending in a letter of intent to the Dean of Admissions, Brian Hahn. Personally, I am only deciding between the two schools - and...

Has anyone successfully submitted a pre-interview letter of interest that wouldn't mind sharing it with me as an example? I have drafted one of my own, but I am struggling to find any pre-interview LOI examples and I want to make sure mine is appropriately written. Thank you in advance!

So Temple University is my #1 choice. I am OOS. I recently got into NYU Dental (also OOS). I was thinking about sending a letter of intent to Temple - after my Fall semester grades are posted for the AADSAS academic update (will be all A's hopefully - maybe one B+). I really like NYU, but Temple...

So are people without committee letters at a disadvantage? My school doesn't have a committee (use to but got rid of it for some reason), but my friend at a school near by says his school offers one. He also told me his advisers say it looks bad if you don't have one. Committee letters sound so...

I have a problem. I'm an Arkansas student, but a Texas resident. I'm applying for medical school this summer. However, my premedical advisory committee works to get people into Arkansas medical schools, so they do not make my premedical committee letter until October (Arkansas medical schools do...

Hey guys, I have one letter that was sent about a month later than when the rest of my app was mailed out. The writer has uploaded it in AADSAS and looks like the letter has been mailed out, but will I have to send it separately to admissions offices? Or will it make its way to them? I got an...

It's too late now for me, but I'm interested in hearing your opinions on this subject. I applied to a number of DO schools with no osteopathic LoR requirements, knowing that I had a LoR on the way. I completed my secondaries and said that I didn't have a D.O. LoR, and now plan to update them...

I'm wondering if schools ever give interviews before committee letters (and LOR packets) are sent out. I submitted my primary on the very first day it opened and have completed all of my secondaries. My school typically sends out the committee letter mid-August, so should I just plan on not...

Hello all, I designated 4 evaluators to write me a letter. One has sent his in already and it is seen as received on 7/11/16 and "completed" processing on the AADSAS website. After reading what he wrote, I decided I would like to choose a different evaluator. However, I do not see the red...

2 of my supervisors offered to give me strong letters......but how will they "send" or submit these letters to addsas? I also have a potential dentist that will give me another recommendation letter - where does it belong in addsas? Yes, I have addsas account almost completed except for this...

Hi everyone! I'm a reapplicant for the 2016-2017 cycle and wanted to know what you good people thought about getting a letter of rec from a PA. I've worked with two PAs for the last year and a half who know me well and have volunteered to write the letters if I asked. I know the letters would...

Hey guys quick question I go to Arizona State and they have a pre-health office which collects all your letters of recommendations, is this techincally called a committee letter? With them I have a letter from two science professors, a dentist, and a volunteer coordinator. So, four letter...

I tried searching, but couldn't find these specific questions: I have a LOR lined up from a therapist, but he only just recently graduated like 3 years ago. Would this affect the LOR in a objectively negative way regardless of how great he writes the LOR? More specifically, do schools take...

Hi, My professor asked me resume and PS but I do not have things to write on resume other than school, major, shadowing and volunteer. Is it normal problem that pre-dental student faced to? I already looked up many template of CV and resume and I feel I need to write some more information. Is...

I am a graduating senior and waiting until the summer to study for my DAT and applying in the next June 2017 cycle. I only have 3 more months at school so I need to gather my letter of recs now. Since I am not applying now, where do I tell my professors/dentist to send the letter too. Is there a...

I still have 1 year until I start the application process, but I met with my advisor this morning and she said I need to start thinking about my LORs, and that I should have them ready by January 2017 if I plan on applying for the 2018 cycle. I went to my Ochem 1 prof's office hours pretty often...

Hello everyone, I am currently writing my personal letter and would like to know if you guys think these accomplishments are worthy of being present in my application (these are broad topics and they would of course be elaborated on): - Started a business in college with $500.00...

I am utterly confused about how to SUBMIT Lor's. My professor is more than willing to write it, but when I look the AMCAS website they have it written that I'm going to have to provide the professor with both a Letter ID and my AAMC ID. I have my AAMC ID, however I've tried searching on the...

I completed a course with a professor this past Fall semester whom I know I want to ask for a letter of recommendation, and I would like to do so soon while I am still fresh on her mind. However, I do not plan on applying to PT school for another two years. What do I do with the letter in the...

i NEVER hear anyone talk about how recommendation letters are crucial for acceptance. anyone have any stories where their rec letter saved them or boosted their app? or any opinions/thoughts in general?

So I had my interview about 2 weeks ago. I forgot to send a thank-you note. What should I do?
