Anybody know if UCSD has the opportunity for getting a committee letter? Thanks!

No they don't but their letter services uses VirtualEvals now, which is nice!

This is straight from their secondary application:

"6) LETTERS OF RECOMMENDATION: Submit a Premedical Committee recommendation or letters coordinated by the Premedical Advisor at your undergraduate school. If you do not have a Premedical Advisor or Committee, a minimum of three letters are required from faculty (senior professors) who can provide a well considered evaluation of your qualifications for the medical profession. (Two of the three must be from faculty at a four-year undergraduate institution in either the Departments of Biology or Chemistry. The third recommendation must be in humanities or social sciences. If you are currently in a graduate program, the third letter may come from your graduate professor.) A MAXIMUM OF FIVE LETTERS WILL BE ACCEPTED. Also, if you are applying for the MD/PH.D program you will need to provide us with a separate packet of recommendation letters. Recommendations mailed prior to our request will need to be resubmitted."

I think he means if he can get one as an undergraduate at UCSD, not if one is required for the med school app.

I thought that was a possibility, but decided to post anyways - just in case! Thanks! 👍

no, because there is no pre-med committee at UCSD

I know for a fact that there is a committee and that a letter from them is required. My UCSD friend said so.

Thanks for your responses! I meant as an Undergraduate at UCSD, does UCSD have a committee. From the responses, I guess they don't offer one, which is good b/c some schools ask why you don't have a committee letter. Thanks again! 🙂

Hey, what is virtualevals? Is that run through the Career Services?

 

[fugazism]

yeah, there is no committee, career services has a reference letter file service...where you can set up one VirtualEval account and have them send it off to all your schools for 5 bucks
