School Specific LORs

Last year I remember seeing LOR requirements for each school in the School Specific Discussion Thread, however that does not seem to be there anymore. I was wondering is it moved to another thread? Where can I find this information without looking at all the school's website?
The reason I am asking this is that I have only one science LORs from a professor who taught me, although I do have LORs from PIs. So I wanted to see which schools will be fine with this.

Thanks!

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks 🙂

The most basic LOR file will consist of 2 letters from your science profs, and 1 from a non-science prof. This is usually the minimum that most schools adhere to. Often, they will accept or even prefer a committee letter in place of those 3 letters. Or they may accept a mix of committee and sci/non-sci LORs (my school didn't have a committee, so I'm not 100% keen on that).

Letters you may have from your PI, doc that you shadowed, volunteer gig, etc will help to round out your file in addition to your academic ones.

But, you will need more than what you have at this point.

I know this is not the case for many medical schools. Schools seem to be pretty lenient on the LORs that they require.

I've done well with my 2 science LORs and 1 employer LOR. No need for the non-science.
