Because I'm not submitting a committee letter, a lot of the schools require that I submit three faculty LOR's. However, I also have an LOR from a co-worker at my FD (she doesn't volunteer there anymore because she is working in research at Hopkins and she wrote me a very good LOR from the way she described it), and a DO LOR. The DO is an alumni of my top choice DO school and pretty well known around my area. This makes a total of 5 LOR's. Is that too many? I'm an underdog too (sGPA 3.2, cGPA 3.2, MCAT to be taken next month), so I figure that it'll be helpful for me to more LOR's to show that I'm more than just my GPA.

Should I include all? Any I should leave out? Thank you in advance!
 
Most schools will tell you the limit in the secondary. Some will accept up to 5. If they allow, might as well send in as many as you have.
