Help with LOR's


Recommended Posts

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!

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.
