UCLA re-applicant LORs question

Hi everyone,

I'm re-applying to UCLA and have passed their initial screening to get a secondary. Under the re-applicant section on their website, they say that "The applicant should forward two letters of recommendation from associates during this period of time. " I have one letter from my employer this past year (I worked as a teacher), but I'm wondering if, for the second letter, it would be better to get a letter from a doctor that I shadowed or perhaps a co-worker? It seems like "associate" would mean someone that I worked with...but I also think that a letter from an M.D. whom I've worked with clinically would be better. What do you think?

I would definitely submit the MD letter and not the co-worker one since they already have your employer evaluation.
