Do schools accept additional letters of recommendation? A doctor I have worked with since after I submitted my application has offered to write me a letter but I’m not sure if schools accept it or the best way to send it to them (email, portal, amcas?). I don’t have any II or R so I’m hoping to get any help I can get. Thanks for any advice!

This is school specific.

But as someone who has to read these things, have mercy on us. LORs from doctors are always fluff and unhelpful.

One more LOR isn't goin to move the needle either.

Unless you are 100% sure they are going to say you are the best thing since sliced bread...I don't think it is going to matter much and wouldn't send update.

If your school uses a CAS, send letters through the CAS process. Mind what the CAS instructions say regarding how many letters they can receive.

A few great letters > 15 mediocre letters

From what I recall, most Med schools provide info about their LOR limit in their webpage or through the application services. Follow that and send only if you have room. Also agree that the letter may not be that beneficial unless they provide profound info or updates to your application.
