Good morning everyone,
So I'm about to apply this summer. I'm taking the MCAT in July and applying to a mix of MD and DO based on my MCAT.
So I have two stem professors who I can ask for a letter of Rec, but I'm kind of stuck for non-stem professors. I have a lit. professor who sort of knows me, but I'm not sure that's good enough.
I'm taking a class called senior seminar , through the biology department, and it's a small class that teaches mainly public speaking skills. We present scientific papers, but the skills taught in that class are focused on delivering presentations. The class is still offered through the biology department.
Can that prof's class count as a non-STEM letter of rec? For both MD and DO?
paging Dr.Goro @Goro ,as he works at a DO program. With the way course classification works for DO ( relying more on department and not content), this class may count as a stem letter.
Thoughts? Any help is appreciated. Thank you in advance.
