PreMed Composite Letter: Yes/No/Consequences?

i doubt this would hurt your application significantly, since many schools don't even have premedical committees.

 

I have a similar problem.....my school wont send out a composite letter until i have an MCAT score bc they require me to have a minumum score. And there is no guarantee i even get that score so why should i bother to wait 2 months? I'm sending a packet also. I Think some schools ask u write a statement as to why u arent using their service tho. I guess is looks bad if u have it but dont use it. My other issue is that i dont have any letters from liberal arts professors. I've been doin post bacc and am now in grad school so all i have the last 2 yrs is science. Oh well i hope they can understand.

 

you might want to consider saying that you will update with it - if they know your school uses the letter, and you aren't using the service, it raises eye brows. just a thought -

 

some schools require you to submit the pre-med committee letter if your school has such a committee... be careful

 

My school does offer a committee letter and I opted not to use it for numerous reasons. I don't think that it is wise to send everything in together. For security reasons, LORs are never supposed to touch an applicants hands. I gave my professors stamped addressed envelopes and that is how I circumvented the whole committee package. This did not affect me at all, in fact many of my interviewers got to know specific things about me and I received interviews at all the schools I applied to.
