does it look bad to have LOR from college professors ONLY? b/c i just started volunt. at a pharm and dont think the pharmacists there know me enough to write a good letter....anybody alse have LORs from professors only and still got accepted?
 
Mine are all from professors--like you---I recently did some shadowing--and I wouldn't expect a pharmacist I barely know to fill out a recommendation form! 😱 Whether it's "good" or not--I don't know--I don't think it hurts--UNLESS the school specifically asks for a recommendation from a pharmacist--and there are quite a few that do. Hope this helps a little! 😀

how many LORs did u have?
 
I have three. One from my Organic Prof, one from my Calculus prof, and one from from Speech Communications Prof.
 
I also have three--all from my Biology professors! (one of them is my advisor and neighbor) 😳 I know they wrote me really good references though--so that's good I guess! 🙂

I would have used my humanities/liberal arts professor--but he just recently passed away from lung cancer.. 🙁

In addition, I didn't feel comfortable using my Chemistry or Math professors--I just never got to know them that well.
