How many LORs?

Hey everyone... quick question, how many LORs is ideal? And does it differ per school?

I currently have letters from 2 science professors, 1 non-science, and 1 physician, plus my school's committee letter. Do I need any more?

Thanks!

That sounds about right. I'm probably just going to get about 4.

I'm getting 3 science letters, 1 non-science, and probably 1 or 2 doctor letters. I'm thinking of substitution another science letter in lieu of the doctor letter though. People seem to say shadowing letter isn't as important. But I don't know yet.

Hey, thanks so much for the replies.

So, I should be fine with 2 science, 1 non-science, 1 physician letter? Anyone think I need an extra letter? Also, does it vary depending on the school?

Thanks again.
