If you are applying to medical, dental, or veterinary schools, the application often requests a committee letter of recommendation.
This single letter of recommendation, written by members of the Pre-Health Professions Committee, gives admissions officers a more comprehensive view of you as a student, because it is written with input from many faculty members.​
