I'm not sure if this question has been addressed in previous threads but I couldn't really find anything specific to the Texas application process.
I am about 5 years out of undergrad and preparing for the upcoming application cycle to medical school. I noticed on the TMDSAS website they request only 2 letters of recommendation if you do not have a committee letter packet from your undergrad institution. I was not planning on organizing a packet with my undergrad school (and it is probably a bit late now anyways) but I'm worried about only submitting 2 recommendations when other traditional applicants will have 5+ with a committee packet.
Have any non traditional applicants who have applied to Texas schools without a committee packet of recommendation letters and had any problem with just submitting 2? Do you think it would be a disadvantage to have a fewer number of LORs then with a pre-med committee packet?
Thanks!
