Hi all,
Would it be considered a red flag to have the majority of my LORs related to research? For example:
1. A Physician PI whom I currently work for and shadow
2. An undergrad professor / PI
3. A PI I currently work with
4. Another PI I currently work with*
Letter 5 comes from a professor with whom I used to TA for extensively, and is unrelated to research.
I am considering whether or not to include letter #4* on the basis of my app becoming too research-heavy. I don't currently have the letter, but it can be given to me within 1 week. I also know that #4 will write extremely positively about me. I should note that I am aiming for some research-heavy schools.
Is my concern reasonable? Does anyone have any wisdom to share on this?
Thank you in advance.
