Reference Letter

[jc915]

Hi all,

I volunteered overseas for three months and received a good reference letter from a physician. Is it a good idea to include this letter or would a letter from a Canadian source be more effective? Also, would it be wise to include a reference letter from a professor in the arts department?

Thanks in advance

Alright, I'm not EXACTLY certain how this would be viewed, but I should think a letter from someone who knows you well would be best. And having a letter from an art professor could possibly present a nice view of what kind of person you are outside of sciences (provided that the professor will write you a letter that is fairly specific).
