Katz will consider letters of recommendation from a premedical committee, a packet from a school letter compilation service, or three (3) individual letters. If submitting a compilation packet or individual letters, we prefer if possible, but do not require two (2) letters from professors with whom you have completed course work from the AMCAS course classifications of Biology, Chemistry, or Physics. * One (1) additional letter is required from a non-science professor, work experience, or service activity * A premedical committee letter does not need a specific number of science/non-science letters * We welcome letters from research experiences, but prefer them in addition to the requested science letters from professors with whom you have completed coursework * At any point in the application process, you are welcome to submit additional letters to support your application and are encouraged to use the AMCAS letter service to submit these letters
