<p>It depends on what your goal is.</p>

<p>If you just want an acceptance your stats are good enough that you should be fine (although you don’t mention what you would be applying for). If you’re hoping to get some scholarship money, I’d definitely get 1-2 LoR in there because your stats are just below UHC eligibility so you’ll want to have as complete of an application as possible to impress the committee.</p>
