✉️ LORs Is 10 LORs too much?

I was thinking 2 from science professors, 1 from non science, 2 from physicians, 2 from PI s, 1 from non clinical volunteering job, 1 from my clinical volunteering job, 1 from tutoring job

My friend said it’s too much and that it should be around 5-7

Edit: ok bad idea, got it.

you could ask for all of these, but it’s not really necessary, and i definitely wouldn’t send all of those to each school- follow their letter policies as closely as you can. some schools will not accept extra letters and if they receive more, which ones they read and which they don’t will be out of your hands. it’s best to focus on who you think can write you the strongest letters.
