Letters of Rec - UCLA and UCSF

[202]

Hey everybody!

I'm in a bind and I was wondering if anyone knew anything about the types of letters of recs that UCLA and UCSF require. The thing is that Northwestern is requiring my LOR to be sent in by august 15th, and the types of letters I currently have in my file are two science, one research, and two volunteer, but no non-science faculty letters.

Once I send out my letters which are handled by my premedical committee at UCI, my file is closed and I can't add any additional letters. My concern is that UCLA and UCSF are my top choices, and I want to know whether or not they require a non-science faculty letter of recommendation as part of their requirement.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

hi this is cut and paste from the ucsf secondary for this year.
===============
4. A minimum of three letters of recommendation, including two letters from your instructors. (A maximum of five letters is preferred.) If your undergraduate school has a premedical committee or its equivalent, a COMMITTEE LETTER IS REQUIRED. If a central office (Premedical Health Careers, etc.) at your undergraduate school offers a letter service, you are required to use it.

Useful letters are those from instructors of upper division courses who know the applicant well, and from those who can document evidence of contribution to research or other work related to the delivery of health care. Character references and recommendations from family friends, relatives, or parents? associates are generally not useful. Letters submitted by the applicant will not be accepted. IF YOUR LETTERS WERE SENT BEFORE YOUR APPROVAL FOR A SECONDARY APPLICATION, THEY WERE DESTROYED AND WILL HAVE TO BE RESENT. YOUR FILE WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED COMPLETE UNTIL LETTERS HAVE BEEN RECEIVED FROM ALL RECOMMENDERS LISTED ON THE STATEMENT OF INTENT.
