Anyone from WashU undergrad know if a committee writes a LOR?

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.

I know some schools have a pre-med committee that replaces the Letter of Recommendations with a composite letter that summarizes all your letters. I was wondering if WashU participates in this too. Anyone here go to Washu undergrad? Thanks.

yep, they do. You'll need to be in contact with them well before you apply though. Dean Stahl, Dean Romney, and Dean Herman are the pre-medical deans you would want to contact.

no, actually, they do not.

a composite letter is sent, but it does not REPLACE your LORs. it is merely sent in conjunction.
