How diverse should my LORs be?

I currently have 3 DOs who are willing to write LORs on my behalf. I work with all 3, and they would be able to write a personal and meaningful LOR. They are also alums of the school I am applying to. I am doing early admission option, so it will be the only school I am submitting my app to at this time.

My question is this, should I try to diversify my LORs? I also have a few MDs, RNs, NPs, and PAs who would be willing to submit letters on my behalf, along with a handful of professors.

I am a bit worried that submitting 3 LORs from DOs who are alums could be seen as a turn off by members of the adcom, but I may be overly sensitive on the issue.

Just looking for other viewpoints on the issue. I appreciate the input!

Generally 2 science professor Letters and 1 physician letter is good enough.....

Don't know how many times an adcom wants to read "diz guy, he is so gud, most bestest person"....

I would send two D.O. letters max if it was me.
