A few of the schools ive applied to don't require letters from DO/MD's but will only allow you to send 1 personal letter. Should I send a strong rec from a DO who I shadowed for 1 day or a strong rec from a pharmacist who I worked with 40 hours a week for a year?
 
Um...I would send the D.O. letter over the pharmacist letter unless the the D.O. letter is really weak. Save the pharmacist letter if you want to apply to pharmacy school. Just my two cents.

Totally agree. I haven't seen any med school requiring a LOR from a pharmacist. They want a LOR from MD/DO.
