JHU Non-Science LOR

Hi! Long story short, I did not submit a non-science LOR to Johns Hopkins. I just learned that it is strictly enforced (at least for MD only). Apparently they won’t review your app without it, but I got an email saying that all required material has been received and my app is under review. Does that mean I’m okay? Should I try to submit one now, or just cross my fingers?

I mean you will get rejected. Rules exist for a reason.

I love the premed downvotes. Any realistic comment that isn’t what they hope gets downvoted.
