Hey everyone,
The title says it all. Just how important is it to get LORs from 3 science professors when applying to Columbia and Stony Brook? (Are there any other schools that require 3 LORs from science faculty members?) Would an applicant not be considered for interview if he/she submits 2 LORs from science professors and another from a humanities professor?
Columbia
Three CONFIDENTIAL letters of recommendation from science professors or one composite letter from a pre-health committee. Additional letters of recommendation from employers or non-science professors will be accepted, but will not satisfy the requirement. Official letters of recommendation are only sent directly to the AADSAS application service.
Stony Brook
A pre-professional advisory committee letter is required. However, if your college or university does not provide a committee letter, three recommendation letters from senior science faculty members will be accepted.
