Hi everyone I was hoping for some insight regarding a question I have regarding letters of recommendation.
Both of my science professors who will write good solid letters for me require all students to go through the pre-health office of our university.
I know that many schools require 3 LOR's. But our pre-health office recommends amount of letters that is more than the standard 2 science and 1 non science I have seen.
They also don't write a committee letter but rather just compile all the letters into one single file that is then sent to AMCAS.
Since I have to use the pre-health office in order to get letters of recommendation from my science professors would using them and having 7 letters in the one single file be detrimental to my application in anyway?
Also I think I remember reading somewhere that schools like mayo have a strict requirement of having only 3 letters, is there an exception to this in my case?
also tagging @gonnif @gyngyn and @Goro since you all are the experts.
Thank you so much for you time!
