Asking a Rec Letter Writer

[SeanJeff]

Hi,
I had previously gotten letters from 3 profs that I wanted to apply MD. I got my MCAT back a week ago and it was low enough to deter me from submitting AMCAS.
Now, I'm trying to ask them to submit letters for twoe-year programs, and will have to let them know somehow that I'll be applying next year and not this year.
Should I tell them the reason why I'm delaying? They will have to update their letters next year, so I'm not sure what to say. I had a high gpa and the letter writers are PIs and professors
Thanks!

You could just say that you've decided to wait a year before applying. You should probably be honest if they ask why. But they probably wouldn't write about your low score in the rec letter and the programs you apply to would know your MCAT anyway.
