Hi folks,

Just for example. This is Mayo's letter requirement:

"We require three letters of recommendation or a composite letter from a premedical committee. Your recommendations should be written by persons who know you well and whose opinions have bearing on the likelihood of your success in medical school. At least one of the recommendations should be from a member of the science faculty. A letter from a teaching assistant is acceptable. Please be sure letter authors include your AMCAS identification number on their letters of recommendation. If your letters of recommendation are not signed and on letterhead, they will be considered invalid."

On MSAR, it states the maximum number of letters for Mayo is 10.

In this case, can I send more than 3?

Thanks!

Yes you can send more but I wouldn't send too many (in my opinion that would be >5).
