Did you receive an email outlining what needs to be submitted thus far? They said I'm missing 1 science letter but I submitted 2. One was from micro prof and other was from professor who supervised my researched project course who is a bio prof also. Could the research be the issue? The other schools I applied to don't seem to be strict on them having to be lecture only letters. Anyone apply with one of the letters being from research prof?

I'm on the phone with them now. It's frustrating because she's saying my research letter wont count so now I have to scramble for another science prof in the middle of the summer. Most of the sciences courses I took were in 1st and 2nd year and the ones I've asked already were complete asses

Did you recieve a grade for that research course?

Oh i see. I'm in the same situation but fortunately i do have an extra letter from a science professor stored on interfolio. I will just send it to them without waiting for that "missing letter" email. I just think it's dumb for them to be so specific. This professor doesn't even know me other than the grade I recieved in her class. That's why i chose my research professor. Thanks for letting me know!

Exactly! What's the point of getting a science lecture letter if the person doesn't know me at all, vs this research letter where my prof talked a lot about me.
