Hello!
My school does a lot of committee letters, but I opted not to get one for quite a few reasons. 1) they don’t allow outside opinions and I had a 1 year clinical research position I loved along with 3 other research experiences outside of the school. 2) For every applicant they write concerns (which I don’t like). 3) they are rather generic mentioning things like GPA.
I opted to get one from my pre-health advisor instead which was personal, 2 science professors (for schools that want 2), and the 1-year research PI.
Does this look bad? I didn’t realize it was such a problem but reading past threads is scaring me. I thought it would be nice to have personal letters of support. Does Texas not like this?
