Alexander Doctoroff Letters of Recommendatoin Whom should I ask for letters of recommendation? #Med {{ 1469454075146+1-1 | date : 'short' }} med medicine Share Facebook Twitter LinkedIn
anonymous In brief, you want recommenders to be people who know you well and have worked with for a significant amount of time; an impressive scientist who you barely know is less valuable than a post-doc who you've worked with closely for 3 years. You also want a variety of recommenders - academic (e.g., a professor), research (e.g., a PI), volunteer activity, healthcare provider (e.g., if you shadowed in the ER for a year), maybe personal (perhaps a religious leader), and of course your pre-med committee letter if you have that resource available to. {{ 1480985823891+1-1 | date : 'short' }} Share Facebook Twitter LinkedIn
