Hey, how are you doing? Im thinking of what letters of rec to assign to what schools in AMCAS. My school will not supply a composite letter, however I have about 4 letters of rec being sent in. Is it good to supply three for each school? That seems to be the norm, and the last thing I want to do is overkill and send four.

Every school has a different number of letters required. Some schools require 3, some require 5. Some require peer letters, others don't. It's best to look up each school your applying to and see what they require.

It sounds like IYO I should send in exactly the amount of letters requested by the schools im applying to. Am I right?

As long as they are strong letters that's probably ok.

Quality not quantity.

I'll probably be sending 4. Just hoping schools don't say stupid things like that engineering professors don't count as science teachers...

It takes pi number of recs to be accepted.
