lors letters of recommendation evaluations

Would Human Genetics qualify as a science course and would I be able to use it for a science LOR? The class is in the Biology department (it's called BIO 104), and it's taught by a Professor of Biology. However, the class itself is for science non-majors. The course description reads as follows...

I have read that you should have two letters from science professors who taught a course you took. I have one letter from an inorganic chemistry professor and the professor who was the instructor of my honors thesis courses, two courses I took for university credit in back-to-back semesters of...

I’d like to say that I’m in a pretty lucky however stressful situation where two of my professors I reached out to for LOR’s from are actually suggesting that I write key points and anything I'd like in the letters about myself. Has anyone else been in this same situation? If yes I need your...

I'm a 3rd year Caribbean medical student, and I have a terrible step 1 score of 212...I'm not sure what happened there but I'm working towards a redeemable step 2 score. I'm interested in FM, IM and Peds (basically primary care), but I also want to make SURE I get a residency in one of those 3...

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...

I have been in the lab for a good year but the time have amounted to no substantial results. I am an undergrad. I would say I have stilled showed good work ethic/commitment and have run many experiments. I have also participated in a lab meeting where I presented and journal club meeting a...

How do you know what osteopathic schools want what kinds of LOR when none of them say what they want on their admissions criteria pages? I know the safe thing to do is 2 science 1 non science then people that know you well for a total of 5 or 6 but how am I supposed to know which to send where...

Would like your insight. I'm applying this year for fall 2017 admission. I would like to ask for LOR from a professor with whom I'm conducting research. He is the PI of the project and I'm Co-PI. However I assume I'll be first author of the article if it gets published. Because I live far away...

Hello SDN, Non-traditional applicant here. Who should I get a LOR from, a doctor at the current hospital I volunteer at who superficially knows me or a former supervisor (over tens years ago)? From my research on SDN, LORs from doctors are "DOA" to Adcoms. Is this an accurate assessment? I...

Hi everyone, I have a question regarding the LORs for PCO. On their website it says: Three letters of evaluation are required and should be forwarded directly to OptomCAS. Any three of the following options will be accepted in order to fulfill the letter requirement: a Pre-Professional...

I find it surprising that some schools like UHCO, NOVA, PCO require two to three LORs from professors! I went to a very large university and had a reclusive study style that made it difficult for me to develop a relationship with many professors. I have one LOR from a professor I had in a small...
