Northwestern University The Feinberg School of Medicine

Committee/Composite/Advisor Letter: A comprehensive and detailed letter authored by a pre-health committee or pre-health adviser and intended to represent your institution’s evaluation of you. If your institution writes a committee letter WITH individual letters included, this will be acceptable, and they will all be considered during the review of your application. If your institution writes a brief committee letter WITHOUT individual letters included, you will need to send at least two additional individual letters. Individual Letters: a total of three separate letters meets Feinberg’s requirement. At least one letter should come from a science faculty member. The other two letters may come from a variety of sources, preferably faculty members (science or non-science) or a research supervisor, but may also include a long-term employer. https://www.feinberg.northwestern.edu/admissions/how-to-apply/requirements.html
