Hello SDN,
I am new to this forum, and I need your help! I am a third-year pre-health student, and I have not decided which field I want to pursue. I've been considering medicine, dentistry, physical therapy, and nursing. I've shadowed all and have developed preferences in some fields over others.
For personal reasons, I will apply to professional schools years after I graduate from my university. However, since I am already taking my pre-reqs, I will ask for letters of recommendations now. The problem is that because I have not decided which field to pursue, I do not know how to ask professors to write the letter. In other words, I do not know if I should ask professors to make letters out to medical schools, dental schools, nursing schools, etc.
I am considering asking professors to write letters recommending me to "professional school." Is this recommended? Please indicate if you are a pre-health student, accepted student, adcom, etc.!
For your information, our school sends a committee letter which summarizes the letters of recommendations, but the school also sends copies of the individual letters students obtain from their professors.
Thank you in advance!
