One recommendation should be from a faculty member in the life sciences area who has taught you at IU, preferably one who can comment on your participation in class discussion or laboratory work. The second letter should come from another IU faculty member or AI (from either the College of Arts and Sciences or the Kelley School of Business) who can comment on your strengths and ability to succeed in a program like the Life Sciences Scholars Program.
