<p>Hey everyone,</p>
<p>thanks for taking the time to read this.</p>
<p>Basically, I am currently a junior who plans on applying to Ivy-level schools next year and doing pre-med. My question is, I know they ask for two letters of recommendation but:</p>
<p>A) Can I include an extra letter from my research mentor? I know the word 'research' gets tossed about alot these days, but I worked with two professors. With the first, I helped test a drug developed by our lab that may see commercial uses in the future against a variety of neurological disorders (basically, it prevents the cells from dying following brain trauma).</p>
<p>My second mentor, who I'll be working with next year, has been acknowledged as "one of the top two experts in his field in the world" - it is also neurology-related. Both of these mentors also work closely with each other. So my question is, should I include one letter from both, one from each, or one from just one of them?</p>
<p>B) I feel like my science capabilities are better shown in the labs I worked in than in class. In that regard, if I plan on doing pre-med, is it critical to have a science-related teacher rec?</p>
<p>C) If it's not, then would two humanities-related recs be ok?</p>
<p>D) (Sorry this is so long :P) say I decide to send one humanities, one science and one mentor rec. If I'm editor-in-chief of the paper, would a rec from the advisor (who's also one of my teachers) be overkill? The reason I ask is b/c a lot of the work I did on the paper was "above and beyond" past years, and I think really demonstrated a commitment.</p>
<p>Thank you!!</p>
