I'm filling out secondary applications now and I'm working on Penn State's. They ask why I do not have a pre-health committee letter despite the fact that my undergraduate school does offer them......the honest reason is that I didn't decide to apply to med school until after the deadline for recommendation letter application had passed (February 3rd). I'm a nontrad (28 years old), thought I was too old for med school and was preparing for PA school instead for that reason. Now that I'm certain about med school despite the longer time commitment, I'm wondering if the lack of committee letter will totally screw me.....? Any advice on what to say in response to the secondary question?
