lor question

Hello, I'm a long time lurker and this is my first post! I am currently an undergrad TA for an intro bio class, but I won't be continuing with this next semester (timing conflicts). The professor and graduate students leading the class know me relatively well, but I was wondering if should ask...

I’m a non traditional applicant who graduated about 3 years ago. I served 1.5 terms with AmeriCorps after this (left early due to a fairly serious injury). For the last 10 months or so, I’ve worked as a CNA at a hospital. I will have LORs from 2 science professors and 1 non science professor...

I am a traditional applicant applying this cycle (June 2018--my 4th year at a university) and I am a little stressed out because I don't have a letter of rec from a non-science professor. The majority of my courses just happened to be science courses since this was my main area of interest. I...

I have a few questions. My undergrad extended from 2001-2004. Would my ECs from way back when still "count"? They included: Volunteering in an ED National Residence Hall Honorary (Historian 1 year, President 1 year) Resident Assistant, 2 years (not sure if this is an EC or work experience)...

Hi, friends! Posting here for the first time because I'm kind of desperate and need help. I'm a junior applying in the 2018 cycle so I planned to ask my Spanish professor (took her class freshman year) for an LOR. She's written one for me before in freshman year and I've kept in contact with...

So I graduated late last year and unfortunately I was stupid enough to never ask for LoR's from my profs while I was in school. 1 science professor has agreed to write a letter for me, but I'm having difficulty finding another professor. I've probably emailed like 6 or 7 other profs and most...

Hey guys, I'm a fourth year medical student currently applying to ERAS looking for any advice you all would be willing to offer. My family medicine letter was finally released by ERAS today and I assigned it to all the programs I am applying to... Unfortunately due to my fat thumbs and being...

Hi all, This is my first SDN post so I am welcome to any criticism for improper questioning/ wrong location/ etc.. Anyways, the college I'm attending does not have a Pre-Med Committee. I have read quite a few threads about the weight and value that committee LORs carry and am wondering if...

Hello! I have a question about letters of recommendation. Is it true that you don't submit the LORs yourself but instead, the writers will have to write the LORs online after you've applied? I thought that after the letter is written, I hold it until its time to photocopy/copy it to the...

Hello, could someone help me out with this. So my first schools Im applying, OTCAS doesn't open until July. When asking for LOR from OTs and Profs, how do I ask them to submit/what to do with it when they are done? Do they have to wait until July to submit, therefore should I be asking them...

I'm a sophomore in college and I shadowed a really nice dentist a few weeks ago. Since I'll be applying in 2 years, could I ask for a letter LOR from her this summer and somehow save it until I fill out the application so that she'll be able to remember me better? Also, does the LOR from dentist...

Hello!! I really want to submit my application, but the only thing missing are my LORs. Has anyone had experience submitting before the LORs are in? The website says you are able to do it but I'm nervous to do it haha. Thanks!!

Hello all, long time lurker on these forums. -I was just wondering where secondaries get sent to. Is it just our email that we used for AMCAS? I haven't been sent any emails from any schools or anything, I believe I clicked do not advertise to me on my MCAT. -When are secondaries getting sent...

Hi everyone! I have a question about my last letter of recommendation. I've already been able to get letters from 2 of my science professors and 1 from the dentist that I have been shadowing, but I'm trying to figure out who I should use for my last letter of recommendation. Both my boss and my...

A few schools that I am applying to suggest a letter from a professor within your major(s), which isn't a problem for science courses. But I also am a Sociology major. Combined with the large lectures and more simplistic nature of the courses, I never really got to know a professor that well...

I've already asked my letter writers for letters but I just noticed this form that may be used in place of a traditional letter of recommendation, but NOT in addition to a traditional letter. thoughts on whether it would make a difference using traditional vs. the new form? trying to figure if...

Hi guys, I did a search but didn't see anything specific for my question. I will be applying to MD schools as well as LECOM Bradenton and I currently have an MD LOR but do not have a DO LOR. I have shadowed 2 MDs pretty extensively and also worked in a Chiropractic office for 2 years. My...
