No premed committee for letter of recommendation?

I am applying to medical school this cycle and one of the schools I'm considering applying to is Medical College of Georgia. On their website they state: "The Admissions Committee will not review an applicant’s file without having received all three letters of recommendation. The three letters of recommendation include one from the Pre-Health Advisory committee from the undergraduate institution and two personal references."

But what if your school does do pre-health advisory committee letters anymore? I have 3 letters from faculty, 1 from hospice volunteering and (tentatively) have one from research and one from a physician I am shadowing. There have to be exceptions right?

They do make exceptions. My undergrad didn't have a committee, I just had another faculty letter. They are more or less saying if your school has a committee you must get a letter from the committee.
