Question about LOR!!!

[pjyi]

Members don't see this ad.

So I have 4 LoRs already and I can't add anymore. one from a dentist, one from my ochem professor, one from my pastor (because Loma Linda requires a letter from a spiritual leader) and one from my neurosurgeon who operated my surgery (he knows me better than most people other than my family)

I read some threads saying that you need at least two letters from core science profs for some schools
Is that true?
I know LECOM requires 2 from profs and i am applying there
Do you guys think I should take all the schools out that require 2 LoR from core science profs?

Thanks!

I think you should take out the pastor and add another science professor, and then send in the pastor letter of rec to Loma Linda directly...

Can I do that?

I should contact the school

Thanks!!

Does anyone know whether this is critical? 🙁

Ditto above. I think more schools requests academia LOE's vs. non-academia (ie pastor). Check specific LOE reqs for each schools you apply to. Call the schools with different LOE reqs (ie pastor) and ask if you can send the LOE directly, where, etc. I had a similar issue and the school was okay with me sending a LOE directly to them.
