Hello all,

I currently have letters from 4 science professors, 1 non-science professor, 2 DO's, 1 MD, and 1 PA. I didn't realize AACOMAS only allows 6 letters, and I already submitted the 4 science letters and 1 DO letter (I scribe for this DO in ER) leaving me with one spot left. Should I include a glowing recommendation from an MD I scribe for who really hit on a desire to practice in a rural area or a good letter from a DO I shadowed in family medicine whose letter details I don't know? Tyranny of Choice here...

This is assuming I'm able to just send the 1 non-science professor letter to NOVA separately.
