Hi all,

So I have already submitted by committee letter to AMCAS, which also contains 3 individual letters (English and biochem professors, physician I shadowed). However, I just had an idea for an another letter from someone who knows me extremely well. She is a nurse anesthetist and supervised me during my clinical volunteering. She was not the volunteer coordinator, and she was actually working with me/in charge of me basically. I honestly think a letter from her could be the best among my potential 4 letters. We had a close relationship, got along extremely well, and she could speak to my volunteer work in the hospital and personality extremely well. However, since I have already submitted my committee letter, I wasn't sure if this could be seen as fluff, and I certainly do not want to waste her time by asking her to write a letter if it would not have any impact on my application. Would appreciate any input!

More is not better. As Someone who has to read these things, have mercy.

It would not be recommended at my school.
If you are applying to one of the schools that recommends a "clinical letter" (AZ, USUHS, RFU...) it seems ok.
Gotcha, thank you for letting me know!
