Common AMCAS Questions Week: Recommendation Letters

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Each day this week, we'll answer some of the most frequently asked AMCAS questions here. Let’s dive in!

Who should I ask to write recommendation letters?

You should go a step beyond a school's expectations when you request recommendations. We suggest you aim for:
  • At least two science professors
  • At least one non-science professor
  • Medical professionals. Note: You don't have to stick to M.D.s; osteopathic physicians, nurse practitioners, EMTs, medical students—anyone who supervised you is gold.
  • Supervisors at your job, volunteer posts, and extracurricular activities.
