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...

I couldn't find anything online from what I can see. Anyone have any suggestions?

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...

I was missing a basic science LOR

Hi everyone. Things are wrapping up for me with applications, I'm trying to get my application submitted by this weekend so that I don't approach the late bracket. So far I have 2 professors writing me letters of recommendation and will have both their names/emails in the evaluator section by...

I'm requesting some of my LORs currently so that I can get my applications submitted soon. I have 2 optometrists in mind, although I technically did not shadow either of them. (Worked often with them though) NECO mentions that they require a shadowed optometrist LOR on their website. This got...

When is it a good time time to ask for all of my letters of rec? Currently I am in classes with all 3 of the professors that I plan on asking. Two of my science professors I haven't had before are, and my non-science which I had last year (I would feel comfortable asking her now). I am not sure...

so I already have 2 LORs from the science faculty at the CC I attended but I want to get one from one of the professors at my transfer 4 year school. My problem is during those 2 years I couldn't be really involved so that the professor can get to know me. When I tried emailing my zoology and...

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...

Hey everyone! This is my first post here, as I have always been a lurker and have gotten some great information, and now I need advice for myself.... Long story short, I had no idea that the OTCAS application was a "one-size fits all" for all programs you're applying to. In hindsight, I know...

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...

One of the dentists I shadowed agreed to submit a letter of recommendation on my behalf (for summer 2018 - I am collecting letters on Interfolio). However, he wants me to write it, as he said that he does not have time. I guess he will just read it, approve/edit it, sign it, and submit it. I...

The common advice is to go to office hours and make a good impression. I'm having trouble understanding how much of an impression I need to make. I'm confident all of my professors know who I am. I sit up front and I participate in class. I go to each professor's office hours once or twice. Not...

Hello Everyone, This is a stupid question, but since it's my first time I was hoping you could help me out. I am about to send my request to my evaluators for LOR and have a couple questions 1) I am assuming that if they complete and send the LOR then I will get a notification that it has been...

Hello, I would truly appreciate it if someone could guide me about the letters of recommendation. In AACOMAS, you don't have to add letters of recommendation to submit it? I want to apply to this school, but I'm requesting letters via Interfolio. Does anyone know if the school would still review...

Submitting in the next few days (~9/14). Still waiting on transcripts/LOR (the science professors aren't responding and I don't blame them >4 years out of undergrad...). As soon as I submit, I plan on pre-writing my secondaries. Stats: 3.42 Undergrad GPA 506 MCAT Graduated 2013 (nontrad)...

So- I have seen this question asked in the past in other fields, but it hasn't been addressed in OBGYN. Next week I will be submitting my application without a 'Chairman' letter. My clerkship director and advisor never mentioned that I needed an OBGYN Chairman letter for applications. I've only...

Can I create a new evaluation request once I submit my AADSAS application? Or are the LORs I have created requests for it once I submit it.

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...

Hey guys, All 3 of my letters have finally been submitted. However, 1 is accepted while the other 2 are listed as completed. Any clue what the diff is? Does AADSAS have to process it or something? The 1 accepted was submitted a month ago or so.

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...

HELP - I asked for LOR's a LONG time ago because I thought I was on top of things. They have all already been submitted, and the last was submitted in late June. Most of them were submitted in May. I gave all of the letter writers that AMCAS PDF that explains how to upload the letter, etc...

.

His LOR is the very last thing I need for my application to be finalized. I asked him back in May if he would be willing to write my LOR for this cycle, and he was definitely willing. I gave him a deadline of late July. When I asked him this week if he was working on it, he said he wasn't in a...

On the PharmCAS website, it indicates a series of standardized survey questions for general evaluation of a candidate. Does anyone know if a section for a written composition is also in the evaluation portal? I want to know whether or not I need to inform my references about this so they don't...

If a school asked for 3 LOR max (2 from science professors) and I accidentally sent 3 but only 1 from a science professor, so I added another science professor (total of 4) how bad does this look?

Hi everyone! I was wondering for my science letter of recommendation, could I get the letter from a teacher that I am an undergraduate teaching assistant for? I have already taken the course previously but with a different professor, who I did not really get to know that well, so I was wondering...

Hi, I know that the AMCAS only lets you edit a few things on your application after submitting. I was wondering if you are allowed to add more people onto your list of LOR after you submit? Just as an example I currently have 4 letters but am hoping to get two more from supervisors where I...

I have already completed my OptomCAS application, ordered for my transcripts to be sent, and submitted the names and emails for my LORs. Can I submit my application before OptomCAS receives copies of the transcripts and LORs, or should I wait until they receive them? I saw some questions on...

Hello again! A PT from an in-patient department just happily accepted my LOR request and said she could write a very positive LOR, however I was just denied a LOR from a different PT from an out-patient clinic I volunteered with for 5 months and it put my spirits down because I need at least 2...

The reason I am stressed is because I am waiting on one more LOR (science professor) and she told me she will write by July/August and I asked her beginning of May. I know committees won't look at apps until they are complete so I am worried that this LOR will severely hurt my chances. I have...

Hey all, So I went to submit my application yesterday, but I held off because I got nervous about my evaluators not being to able to submit evaluations after I have submitted my AADSAS application. I had seen on here that evaluators CAN send them after AADSAS submission. However, when I went to...

Hi SDN, Here is my predicament. I, being the stupid pre-med, failed to obtain any letters of recommendation from any professors from the first 3.5 years of my undergraduate career. Now, I'm scrambling to find letter writers to fulfill the requirements of the programs I am interested in. I have...

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...

I am trying to apply to the NAU PT program. Bio Major at ASU My GPA is 4.0 GRE 161 V and 163 Q and 3.5 AW Observation hours for NAU are not required but highly recommended. Because I have spent a lot of time on my coursework and studying for the GRE so far, I don't have any observation hours...

I wish everyone the best of luck with this cycle! My application is processed/verified, but I do have a couple questions. 1. My second MCAT score comes out in July. Do schools send out secondaries before getting the second MCAT score or do they wait until that second score comes out? 2. Do...

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...
