Confusing info on PTCAS about LOR's

I am planning to apply to D'youville and there is conflicting information on PTCAS regarding LOR's.

According to this 2017-18 Applicants I must submit at least 1 letter from an academic evaluator while according to http://aptaapps.apta.org/ptcas/allreferences.aspx I must submit a letter from my supervisor. I don't know which one to believe.

Which is right?

That is a bit odd. I would guess they mean you need one of each since the first link says they require two letters. I would email the school's admissions office to ask for clarification since the PTCAS site has conflicting information.

check the schools website they will usually list their letter of req requirements there as well.

doesn't specify on school website. Just says something like 2 letter addressing leadership potential

anyways if I volunteered at physio clinic, wouldn't the therapist be my supervisor?

so if I send a academic letter from a prof and another from a physio, I would meet the requirement regardless right?

I would do 1 from a PT another from a teacher and you can also upload a third one from a supervisor it won't hurt you and if they only require 2 they will just look at the two they want.

thanks for your reply 🙂

I called them and they said you need one academic and one professional. I think by professional she meant therapist because when I asked them, "so just to make sure I need a LOR from a therapist and a professor" the assistant graduate director said, "yes"
