    Human Genetics for a science LOR?

    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...

    Does this qualify as a science professor LOR?

    I have read that you should have two letters from science professors who taught a course you took.

    Professors are letting me draft my own Letters of Rec before they add their own sauce!!!

    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...

    How strict are the Letters of Recommendation requirements?

    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...
