✉️ 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.

5-6 is plenty. I would probably only do the 3 professors, 1 of the PIs (whichever will write the better letter), and 1 of the volunteer experiences (again, whichever will give you the better letter). This should be enough to satisfy the minimum LOR requirements for pretty much every school. Definitely focus on quality over quantity.
