Get help with your application
Use all the free resources available to you from SDN: articles, guides, expert advising, forums discussions, and school research.
Unless you're accepted, I don't think they care. When you are accepted, I'm sure you can work this out in the two years before you'll have finished lab rotations one and two.
Try calling them. Maybe you'll be able to talk with someone.

sorry, i should have clarified that i meant that I have two research mentors writing me letters of recommendation, instead of three that they wanted.
good idea dr. z. i get so caught up on emailing i forget about the phone.

i had the same situation. but i called, and after a few phone calls, they were fine with me applying with only 2 research mentors.
i called them and the lady told me to put the two that I had.
i'm assuming if you had one mentor, to put one.
i have no idea how having less than three will affect the admissions process, but i suspect it depends on how strong the recommendation letter is, the duration of the involvement, and the reputation of the professor.

If I recall correctly last year the three letter rule gace some people a lot of trouble. Some called, were told two letters was fine, and were later asked to provide a third letter from whatever they were currently doing since the committee was on the fence about them and really wanted three letters from everyone.
I had my two letters all ready to go in august but waited until my third letter was ready in the end of september to submit my application. I figured being complete a little later was better than getting a request later for a new letter.
Best of luck to you all.
Let's hope they realize that not every applicant has three different research mentors.
