Who is supposed to write your LORs?
I was under the impression that anyone could write you a letter of recommendation, but I've read on some websites that it needs to be a committee letter, science professor, non-science professor, etc.. Are there any requirements?
Would these work?
1. I was president for the Habitat for Humanity chapter at my university. Could I get my faculty adviser to write me a letter?
2. I was a teaching assistant for one of my science professors. Is it appropriate to ask her for a letter?
3. Could I get a physician that I've shadowed to write me a letter?
4. I have an unpaid internship at my local hospital's charitable foundation. I work closely with the director of the foundation. Could he write me a letter of recommendation?
I went to a med school application Q&A the other night, and now I'm beyond confused. They said they selected different people's letters of recommendation for different medical schools that they were applying to. Can someone please clarify?
Thanks so much.
