I would be interested to know today what proportion of the 42% of students accepted to med school (most only get one acceptance) do not have a committee letter…@wayoutwestmom, any insight to that?
Some med schools require a committee letter, some don’t, so not getting a committee letter closes some doors.
I have always known pre-med advisors (whether external or internal) to recommend students not take classes, especially orgo, at a local college over the summer.
