Keck MSTP Letters of Rec Confusion
Hi everyone,
I might be overthinking this,
Does anybody know exactly how many letters we should submit for the Keck MD PhD application?
On the MD PhD website, it says: "In addition to the standard medical school application, two letters of reference should be provided from individuals familiar with the student’s research potential."
But the MD website details: "The Keck School of Medicine of USC participates in the AMCAS Letter of Recommendation Service. A committee letter is sufficient. Alternatively, 2 or 3 letters from professors, PI’s or work experience are acceptable. Do not send more than 3 letters if you choose the individual letter option! Applicants are required to send their letters through AMCAS. DO NOT send any letters of recommendation to the Office of Admissions, as they will not be accepted."
So does this mean we can send a max of 5, or is it a max of 3, with 2 from PIs?
