I work at a very large small animal hospital (70+ doctors). It is the backbone of all my animal experience (probably 2000+ hours when I apply) so I feel like this LOR is very important. The person in the hospital who knows me best (by far) is my supervisor, a vet tech. I will definitely be asking her for a letter, but wonder how I should go about asking the doctors. The owners are well known at some vet schools, so I want their names on my letter (one admissions director told me, "You'd be all set with a letter from [hospital owner]") and another few doctors are well-recognized in their fields, such as neurology and surgery. I have spent time with all the doctors in the hospital, including the owners, enough so that I am sure they wold sign/write a letter for me, but the doctors that I spend the most time with are the emergency doctors (which is helpful because I am interested in small animal emergency and critical care), including one who I see as my regular DVM.
I've read this board long enough to know that I should ask the person who knows me best to write the letter. But how does a committee letter work? How many doctors can I ask to sign it? I can think of 5 different doctors whose names would add to my application. What if a vet tech writes it? Can I submit more than one letter from one source of experience? (i.e. one from my supervisor and one or more from the doctors)
Thanks!
