Recommendation Letter:
Letters of recommendation should be submitted through AMCAS. The Committee on Admissions requires either a letter of evaluation from the premedical advisory committee at your school (greatly preferred), or three letters of recommendation from faculty members who can provide an evaluation both of your academic ability and of your personal qualifications for a career in medicine. Both issues should be addressed in all individual letters of recommendation. Individual faculty members should also indicate in what capacity they have known you, for how long they have known you, and how well they know you. It is also helpful if they describe how you compare with other candidates for whom they have written letters.
In addition to the letters described above, applicants may submit a maximum of two more letters to support their application. These letters may not be substituted for the required letters. Letters that can add substantially to the overall picture of you as a candidate for medical school are most desirable. Letters from relatives and friends of the family, roommates or teaching assistants, or elected officials are strongly discouraged unless they can provide truly unique information about you that is not available from other sources.
