I wanted to see if anyone knows anything about this...
I finished up a post-bac program but unfortunately never established a good enough relationship with the profs to think any of them could write a worthy letter...Plus, I've taken some time off, so now they won't even remember me.
I've been doing research for a few years with someone who's a med school faculty member....I'm planning on using that as a "science letter"...And then getting another letter from the prof of a physical anthro class I'm going to take this semester...The schools I'm applying to (foreign, mind you) require two letters from science faculty and don't want additional letters...Does it matter that I didn't get a "grade" from my research professor? Someone from an admissions committee once told me you could get away with one letter from a prof that didn't teach you, but it also depends on the school...Anyone know?
 
Sure, I did it too. Just contact them and ask that if you forward them your AAMCAS application and transcripts if they would mind writing one for you.
