MD-PhD letter of rec, but applying to MD-only

[lenovo4life]

During college, I planned to pursue MD-PhD programs so few of my letters of recommendation might have specified "MD-PhD". However, I'll be applying to MD-only programs . Should I be worried about these letters or am I being neurotic? Would adcoms see this as a conflict of interest?

Thank you for your time. Please let me know your thoughts.

You can choose which letters go to which program so if you have concerns about a particular letter you could do that? Otherwise, I doubt it’ll make a big difference. People will probably ask why you’re not applying md PhD at that school or something

Thank you, so it's probably not worth emailing my professors again and have them recheck and resubmit?

If your letter is recommending you specifically for MD/PhD, MD programs, many will assume that you are applying to both. Some may not want to be your second choice.

I would definitely ask again... go bother your professors
