Hey everyone, I had been mulling over which LOR to submit to colleges, and I wanted to see what the consensus on here would be

I want to have 5 LORS. I have decided on:
2 Science
1 Non-science
1 from an director of an organization I was president of

Now for the final one. I stuck between these two:
A mentor for my scholarship program at my university that is pretty prestigious. I feel like this person knows me the best and would probably be the stronger rec of the two
OR
A physician I shadowed last summer. I am thinking that since I have shadowed and done research, I may need an LOR showing this clinical experience

So what is everyone's opinion on this? The stronger rec or a rec that shows clinical experience?
