Virginia Commonwealth University, shared an update PostedTuesday, August 18, 2020 at 9:47 AM UPDATE: Letters of Recommendation requirement for VCU for the 2020-2021 Cycle: VCU requires three letters of recommendation, with at least one from a physical therapist. However, we recognize that obtaining a reference from a physical therapist may be difficult for some due to the lack of opportunity for observational hours. We encourage you to obtain a reference from a physical therapist, their perspective is different from that of your academic references and is important to us. If you are unable to obtain a reference from a physical therapist, a reference from an individual who can speak to your professionalism, motivation, ability to collaborate, ability to interact with individuals from diverse backgrounds and other attributes that are beyond that observed by your academic faculty.
