Hi Everyone,

If I don't get accepted this cycle (low MCAT score) 🙁 , can I re-use the same rec letters next time I apply or do I have to get new ones for DO schools? The reason I ask is that I have strong LORs and if I don't get in this cycle, I would like to use them again instead of asking for new ones...I would hate having to ask my letters writers to write a brand new one. Are there any schools that make you get new letters everytime?

Thanks in advance.
 
Most schools accept ANY letters written in the last 5 years.
 
Is this true for AZCOM and CCOM? I haven't read the requirements for all the DO schools yet, but these two schools state that you must submit new letters everytime you apply in their supplemental application. How strict are they about this policy? Has anyone re-used letters for these schools?

Thanks
