Fixing your sentences might be a good place to start; I don't even know what you're trying to say. If you write your PS like you did on SDN, you won't have anywhere to go.
*ANS: Try checking the recommendation requirements of each medical school you are interested in. Generally you want to have 5 recommendations varying from BCPM professor, Adviser, Shadowing Physician, and/or anybody who can really comment on your abilities.

Your post was very difficult to understand, but I think you were trying to ask if you can apply with two science letters, a non-academic letter, and one DO letter. The short answer is yes; however, some schools such as PCOM require a letter from a pre-professional adviser.

I'm not sure if I picked up everything in that post... but there are two general rules:
1) If your school has a pre-medical advisory committee, you should get their recommendation packet. Not having one (assuming you school has a committee) will raise some (potentially serious) questions about your credibility.
2) If you don't have an advisory committee (i.e. just a pre-med advisor), you need to do your homework on each school. Usually schools want two science recs, one non-science, and possibly a physician. It's your responsibility to know what's required of you and get it done.
As for non-recommendation issues... are you sure you're ready to start next cycle? It's much harder to share our experience when we don't know how far along you are (i.e. have you taken all the usual pre-reqs, what year do you want to matriculate, have you taken your MCAT yet). More information usually correlates with more thoughtful responses and all. 🙂

Wow...
Before posting again go back and re-read what you write. Make sure you use proper grammar and spell out your words. Mistakes like these could kill your chances anywhere.
For many schools you should have enough letters, but each school is different. Check the school's site to make sure you have enough letters.
