Letters of Recommendation Maximums

Members do not see this ad.

Keck has a maximum letter cutoff of 3 letters. I chose 3 letters, but realized after submission that 2 of the 3 are supposed to be from science professors, and only 1 of the ones I sent were from a science professor. Should I send a fourth letter, or cut my losses?

Send the extra and email the admissions office. This kind of thing happens

Hey! could you clarify where you saw this requirement? The website says:
"Alternatively, 2 or 3 letters from professors, PI’s or work experience are acceptable. Do not send more than 3 letters! "

which I thought implied 2/3 letters, from either: prof, PI, or work
but now I'm worried haha

Yeah I think you're right; I emailed them and they said you can select as you please.
