Hey all,
How bad does it look if your school offers committee letters but you don't send one in? Does this hinder you?
I will be completing AADSAS this summer, but my school doesn't send out committee letters until October. My advisor said that when I send my app out this summer, she will notify dschools that I will have a committee letter sent in the future (dschools will then have the choice of waiting until they get my letter to evaluate my app or just make a decision without seeing my letter). As most of you know, getting this letter takes some effort and at that point next semester I'm not sure I will have the energy to compile a prehealth committee app and go through an interview process at my school for this letter. Although if it would be a hit to my app that I go to a school that offers committee letters and I don't get one, I'll definitely reconsider.
