I have a conundrum regarding committee letters:
I had mine prepared for the 2018 cycle, and it included 6 letters: one science professor, one summer research PI at another university, two non-science professors (I was a theater major), an EMT course instructor I worked closely with, and a former boss from a camp I worked at. All should be very strong. I then chose to not apply that cycle, as I obtained a job that I would need to commit two years to.
For the 2019 cycle, my health committee just updated the letter they had prepared from the last year, with all the same letters included in the packet.
I have two questions: noting that my committee letter only has one science professor letter, and an undergraduate research PI (at a different college), should I send in an additional letter as an individual from a science professor? I have one lined up with a professor I took multiple courses with who agreed to write a very positive letter.
Also, should I include a letter from my new PI at my current job? He is a big name and could also write a strong letter. My health committee will not let me add any additional letters, so they would have to be individual letters. Thank you in advance for your help!!
