Nova Question

Is the ADCOM flexible at all with their requirement of a LOR from a Liberal Arts professor? I have all my LORs ready to go for every school but NSU. Can I just send an additional science faculty LOR or something? If not, my app will have to wait till august, when I can contact a LA instructor I've had.

i sent in 5 LORS (3 school LOR 1 DO 1 MD)..none of which were from a liberal arts prof....HOWEVER it was sent in as a package with my premed committee advisor.. so if your school is similar it may work out for you...( i didnt even realize they required it until right before i interviewed, then when i arrived to my interview they said i had all the requirements..so i was like whewww!)

best of luck

I have a letter from my premed advisor, simply because there is no premed committee. Which is what most schools are ok with. I guess I should just call em up and ask them when its time to complete their secondary.

Submit now, you can always send more letters in later. NSU historically will interview before all of your letters are in (unless something has changed). Keep early in the game, don't hold the application until Aug.

They interviewed applicants this year before the DO LOR was submitted. They will not render a decision though until your package is complete.

They allowed me to get LORs from midwives at the midwifery school I was attending. I do think they are less flexible on the DO LOR than the professor LORs.
