Hey SDN,
I will be a re-applicant this cycle and haven't been able to get in touch with my 2 non-science profs from last cycle about using their letters again this year. I've been out of school for a year and with all this COVID stuff, don't really know who else I can ask and I'm freaking out a little. I was part of a non-science/non-premed organization throughout college and by being a part of that org, we were allowed to sign up for a 1 credit class (up to 3 times) related to the organization. The class is on my transcripts as well. The "professor" for the class was our org's leader/coach. She had already written me a letter last year and will be will be writing one again for me this year. However, she mostly wrote a character letter as she was my org leader. My question is- if everything falls through, could I use her letter as my non-science letter since technically I took her class three times? I'd appreciate any feedback or advice!
Additionally, when exactly is the deadline for recommendation letters? If I submit my primarily and then one of my OG non-science profs gets back to me, can I still add their names as letter writers and send them the AMCAS letter forms?
