LOR for SUNY

[L924]

hi all,

suny requires a LOR from our uni's pre-health committee, but i failed to apply to get an interview from the one at my school. their website says that if your school has a pre-health committee but you can't get a LOR from them, you should get them to write a letter as to why they did not write one.

so how bad would that look if my application had a letter that said "blah blah did not get a LOR because she didn't apply for an interview with us" ? 🙁 and i'm not sure as to how my other LORs will be, as i don't have much of a strong (or any, for that matter) relationship with many of my professors.

i don't want to waste money applying if it's going to be such a long shot. my application isn't too great (for suny standards imo), gpa is around 3.2, practice OAT was 300, a couple extracurriculars.. i think the only thing i have going for me is that i've shadowed 3 optometrists so far, one of them being a vision therapist which is what i want to get into.

any thoughts on this would be much appreciated. and happy july 15th to everyone who's been waiting for optomcas to open up 😉

I am a SUNY graduate and I will gladly write anyone a LOR to SUNY.

All you have to do is send $300 to my paypal account!

(yes, I'm kidding.)

Pretty bad. Suny is one of the few that really really want the committee letter, and you pretty much just failed to get one.
