What happens to your letters of recommendation if you are not accepted into med school? Let's say I apply this year but don't get accepted anywhere. Obviously next year I would want to apply again, which means I would have to fill out another AMCAS app. Would I have to get new letters of recommendation sent in again? Or does AMCAS hold onto letters of rec from previous application cycles? I don't think my professors would think very highly of me (and I doubt there letters of rec would be much nicer) if they had to rewrite me a new one again.. or god forbid a third time... So how does that work? Are they permanently held on file? Or will I have to ask my prof's to rewrite a letter each year I apply? Also what if you were not a science major, and lets say you took your science classes at a junior college, and they all transferred into your university curriculum. Do med schools really care (or are the specific) about your science letters of rec coming from a university vs a junior college?
Finally... where can I find out more info about where, when, & how these letters need to be sent?
