Hey

im getting my letters recently, and i have a few questions on the person that should be writing/signing it.

i come from a really big school, a lot of "professors/instructors" aren't actually real professors, but are usually lecturers, i was wondering if getting letters from these lecturers/instructors lower the weight of the letter as opposed to an actual professor writing it, given that both letters given the same level of insight on the applicant.


i know this is the case for a lot of other graduate schools where they really like to see real professors, but after looking at some med school websites, a lot of them are relatively flexible on the letter writer as long as it fulfills the 2 science 1 non science? (even some schools dont ask for this)

feedback appreciated =)

Here's a thread I posted a few days ago, asking a pretty similar question. Should help.
