Letter from the physician I shadowed under for a year I'm pretty certain this letter was very strong.
Letter from neuroscience teacher I'm pretty certain this letter was very strong.
Letter from orgo TA (as most of my interaction was through the TA and not the teacher) This letter should be strong, but it's written by the TA instead of by the professor.
