Hey All,

I was working on getting my LORs in order and wanted some clarification for the liberal arts requirement for Nova. Is a letter from a psychology prof. alright or would that be considered a sci. prof.? And how did you guys go about getting a LOR from your dean for Philly?

Thanks in advance.
 
For PCOM, contact the Dean's office of your undergraduate institution. Tell them you need a letter from the dean stating that you were/are a student in good standing (and other generic information). For most college dean's office, this is a routine request. It doesn't have to be a personalized letter.

Of course if you have a premed committee from your undergraduate institution, that'll be better 🙂
 
Thanks Group... Seeing as I don't have a committee at my university, would I be able to send more than the required amount to PCOM since I don't think my Dean will be writting a very personal LOR 😉
Thanks again.
