so I don't mean to sound pompous or arrogant, but I have too many of LOR and I'm having a hard time deciding what to send out. Maybe you guys can help me choose. I have the following:

1. A UC med school doctor that is head of the ED who probably had her secretary write my LOR.
2. A physician that I know wrote me a personal LOR.
3. A lower-division science professor/lecturer that I took for 2 quarters and TA'ed for twice that I know wrote me a good LOR.
4. An upper-division science professor/lecturer that I took once and TA'ed once, and she offered to update my LOR for me.
5. My PI who does not have tenure, but who I've been working for more that 2 years now.
6. A science professor that I took who I think wrote me a mediocre LOR but based his LOR off my transcripts and my PS.
7. And a non-science prof.
8. A charge nurse that I know wrote me a good LOR, but that's probably not necessary.
9. And a physician/professor that I shadowed a couple of times.

I need to narrow it down to a set of 3 and a set of 5, and I can't freaking figure it out. I know I need the non-science prof, but I don't know who else. Can't sleep right now, since it's so confusing. ARGH. Please help!

I'd toss 2, 6, 8, 9 for your set of 5.

I'd toss 1, 2, 6, 7, 8, 9 for your set of 3.

Why on earth do you need two sets anyway? Stupid committee.

I vote 3, 5, and 7 for the three letter group and add 4 and 8 for the five letter group (assuming the nurse supervised some sort of volunteer work). I really don't think physician letters help at all unless you worked under their supervision (read: not just shadowed or talked to a couple times).
