HI all,

I was just going to submit the required LORs for schools (usually 2 profs and a DO letter), but I'm wondering if I should ask my AmeriCorps supervisor of 2 years to write one too. The 3 that I already have are going to be strong, and I don't think that an extra one will make a difference (it will also be strong). Will adcoms be expecting one from my supervisor too? I don't want to ask her to write one if I don't need it.
 
Absolutely 100% yes. Adcoms won't be expecting it necessarily but it could be more significantly helpful than you think.
