how many letters?

I have 3 physicians, one of them a DO, willing to write me a letter of rec. Although the actual number varies, most schools would like 3 letters total: 2 from science profs, and 1 from a DO. Some more. Some less. Would it hurt if I sent additional letters or should I try to stick to what the schools want? I appreciate your feedback.

Peace

 

I hear ya! It's tough though because the 2 MD's told me that they will write me excellent letters and I just started shadowing the DO. I gave the DO a copy of my AACOMAS and he seems really cool. He likes me alot too, so I'm not worried about his letter. I just don't know what to do with all of these offers for letters. I guess I'll use the DO's letter for all my DO schools and I'll have to pick between the other two for my MD schools. Although, they can both write me a letter for SIU because that school require 4 letters. I appreciate your feedback. Good luck.

 

I think I'll email a couple schools to see how they feel about additional letters. You know...get the info from the horse's mouth!
