Only 3 eLORS?
Started by Chapelle
Illinois told me they would accept more than 3, but that you would still only get points for three of them.
Oklahoma takes 3, and picks them randomly.
That's pretty much the worst thing ever.

I am dearly hoping this isn't the case because my last letter submitted was from my vet recommendation.
Ended up with 2 academic because I didn't hear from one until about 2 months after they agreed to write one and panicked, and the other is a non-veterinary employer.
Yep, but I believe since they require 2 vet eLORs, they'll pick 2 vet LORS, and the 3rd one will be random.

They only require one vet LOR. I have no idea if they would seek that one out and then pick the other two at random (didn't ask that). All three of my LORs were vets, and if I had four, they would still have all been vets. Lol.
ETA: You know, we *DO* call Oklahoma State University "OSU" around here. It *IS* OSU. Ohio just has some sort of superiority complex. So, I call it OKSU on the boards for clarity. I didn't bother in the email... since I was emailing someone that works there... 🙂

I read somewhere (can't remember where exactly...) that vet schools will choose the LORs that fulfill their requirements. I'm assuming if you have more than those that fill their requirements, they'll choose at random. For instance, if you have 2 advisors, and they will only use one, they'll choose one arbitrarily.
On another note, I know Oklahoma State as OSU, since I attended a conference there last year. I will have to keep the OSU/OKSU specification in mind.
I usually just refer to the O schools by the state- although you are right that THE Ohio State University does have a complex. Sigh.
From VMRCVM's website "Three personal evaluations are to be submitted to VMCAS electronically. Further information about the electronic evaluation (eLOR) can be found at http://www.aavmc.org/vmcas/evaluations.htm."
I thought it was clear that they only wanted three. Then again, I only had three, so I didn't care!
oh haha, i'm not applying to neither oklahoma nor oregon so i didn't even think about it😛 sorry, i'm not so good with letters and numbers. (it actually took me a few months to realize on here that when people said csu they meant colorado... since in california, csu = california state university)
but i did always wonder why the ohio people on sdn always referred to ohio as THE osu. it kinda gave me the shivers every time and i couldn't figure out why... but alas, it's the superiority complex!

Because that is the name of the school.
The Ohio State University!
Well. were' 'the' Oklahoma State University, but you don't see us calling ourselves that. 🙄

No, that is literally part of their name. It is not part of Oklahoma State's name. A cursory glance at the schools' websites confirms such. 😉
I know, but when we changed from Oklahoma A&M to OSU back in 1930 or whatever, we didn't insist on adding 'THE' to it. 
Our slogan is 'OSU - The state's university' or something like that... hich is fine, bragging about being numero uno in the state is fine. But being THE OSU (over those two other OSU's that ren't really worth much) is a bit... arrogant?
I think I sound like I care way more than I do - I was just clarifying initially, and couldn't resist the jab at TEHOSU.
