Can someone please explain to me exactly what a composite letter of recommendation is?

Sorry for the dumb question-I just need clarification on this topic.

Many schools have a pre-health advisory committee, that does one group letter of recommendations for students. You would have your professors turn in letters of recommendation to the committee and the committee would write one letter of rec based on all the other letters. Most med schools require this composite letter if your school has a committee. So first find out if your school has one. If not you can do the standard letters of rec from your professors sent directly to the school.
