Saint Louis University School of Medicine

Letters of recommendation in support of your application are required for a complete application. If your school has a pre-medical advisory committee, a letter from the committee is sufficient, and you also have the option to supplement your committee letter with two additional letters of your choosing. If your school does not have a committee, please request three letters of recommendation. At least one of these letters should be from a college or university science professor. The two additional letters are your choice and may be from an individual that you worked with (research mentor, shadowed physician, service organizer, etc.) who may also speak to your strengths. While not required, the Admissions Committee greatly appreciates seeing a letter from a clinical or service experience that was longitudinal and meaningful to you. An insightful and in-depth evaluation by someone who knows you is of greater value than a recapitulation of your academic work.
