Letters of Recommendation

Applicants are required to submit letters of recommendation as part of their initial application. All letters of recommendation should be uploaded through the AMCAS letter service.

A committee letter or packet is recommended; if applicants are unable to submit a committee packet, three letters of recommendation are acceptable.

Letters may be from a combination of the following:

• A professor who can speak to your academic abilities
• Physicians you have shadowed or other medical professional who you have worked with
• A supervisor or employer
• A pre-health advisor
• An individual who can speak to your commitment to service

Letters may not be from the following:

• Friends or family members
• Coworkers or peers

Applicants should select evaluators who will write them a strong letter. Any re-applicants will need to request new letters of recommendation be uploaded, as they do not roll over in the AMCAS system.
