stop freaking out
you're fine
you're fine
okay thank you, much appreciated
The maximum number of letters of recommendation is one of the very few things schools don't really care if applicants follow (based on what I have heard and my own experiences).
There is good reason for this, though. If you use a committee letter from your university, you don't really have control over how many letters are included. Mine had like five I think, and I couldn't ask my university to take any out and upload a new AMCAS file just for schools that requested four letters at maximum.

A committee letter is always fine (except at Utah). If you didn't have a committee letter and followed instructions on individual websites, you should be fine.
For those of you who have not yet submitted:
Following instructions regarding number and type of letters (in the absence of a committee letter) is strongly recommended. These recommendations are found in the MSAR.
