epd2015 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Hello everyone! I am asking for a bit of advice as to who I should be asking for LOR's from. Please let me know what sources you think would be best/what seems to be most desirable for schools! Aside from that, I have a bit of a problem. I completed my PCH at a nursing home and my supervisor has since left (and is not able to be contacted). I was planning to get a LOR written by her, so now I am not sure what to do. I am planning to get one written by a current PA and another by my lab supervisor (she is a faculty member at my university and I have worked under her 6 hours a week for the past year), but I am unsure as to what I should do with the third! Options: -My anatomy professor has offered to write me an outstanding letter if I want it -The head of the honors program at my school could write me a letter (We have gone abroad together and he has been with me since my freshman year) -I could ask the overall supervisor of the nursing home (I was her employee, although we have never actually met) -I could ask my volunteer supervisor at the clinic where I work (all volunteer run, I triage patients) -Other source that I should look for? Any help would be amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyNameWasUsed Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Your LOR writers should be someone that knows you extremely well and is in a position to attest to your attributes both in the clinical or academic setting. I would go with the anatomy professor or head of the honors program. From what you state, they seem to know you more than your work/volunteer supervisor. My LOR writers were a PA, and two researchers/professors at my university that I did research under. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allegro Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Keep in mind some places you apply will have requirements regarding who they want your references to be. You should check into that with the programs you are interested in before making final decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
