How are you guys classifying your references if they fulfill more than one requirement, and two programs require different types of references?
Example: Some schools require an "academic" and others a "professor in your major."
And I don't particularly want to have two separate people write letters to fulfill both requirements for different schools. Mainly because my non-PT reference is both an academic and a professor in my major. We are very close and I know he will write me a stellar letter. I want all schools to see this letter. I am going to classify him as an academic, because that is what most schools require. But a single school I am applying to wants a professor in your major instead. Can I let this school know that I want them to refer to this letter even though on PTCAS he is classified as an academic?
Yes, I know that I can upload 4 references. Two will be PTs, and one will be this professor. And I am considering applying to a program that requires a supervisor/employer. So I wouldn't have room for an additional professor.
I just worry that the PTCAS system will tell this school that I do not meet their requirements unless I have a separate letter from a different professor in my major.
I'm beginning to think PTCAS Paranoia is a legitimate medical condition.
