LOR Committee Letter or Not?

[wired202808]

Does it matter if the letter comes from the Committee or science professors? Do schools look more preferrably on Committee letters? I ask this because i want to take the necessary pre-reqs at a school that has no committee so this might be an issue (im a non-trad) Please help me out. Thanks guys.

It is a nonissue if your school does not have a review committee. D-schools are aware of whether your schools has a review committee or not.

agreed but i ask because is it better to take prereqs in a school which does have a committee so i can get a letter or are the letters from professors worth the same? basically im asking which looks better in admins eyes.

In your situation, the committee letter is not as important as the grades you get at the school.

Select the school that has better professors, grade distribution, name (reputation), etc. Not if they have a committee. Now, if you select the school w/o a committee make sure you can fulfill the LOR requirements, i.e. a letter from a chem professor, etc.
