Quick question--recommendations??

<p>How many recs are required by med schools, anyway? </p>

<p>I'm pretty far from entering this process (heh, I just got into college a couple weeks ago) but I have started to look towards my next target to get an idea of what I should prepare for. I understand that recs and ECs are not as vital this time around. </p>

<p>What is the number of recs required?</p>

<p>I bet all those professors in the academic disciplines despise every brown-nosing premed seeking recs ;p</p>

<p>[ok, I promised to make this a one-question thread, but I got another one to ask... (sorry guys) What do you think of biomedical engineering? True, as an engineering major it will likely be tough... and yes, I don't -have- to have a biology-related major at all... ]</p>
