Hi! I was wondering, I have been shadowing with my aunt for over two years. I do have a letter from one other dentist, but I wanted to know if it would be stigmatized if I asked her to write me a letter as well. Thank you!🙂
 
If you already have another letter, I wouldn't even think of it.

That sort of thing is only allowed in podiatry school.

LORs from family members / relatives aren't allowed. Wellllll you can submit them, they won't hurt, but they won't be given much consideration.

No. You can talk about shadowing your aunt during your interview, but she can't write your LOR. Conflict of interest.
