You shouldn't have to sacrifice one for the other. Your letters should come from individuals who know you well AND can articulate that in a letter. A letter from someone that doesn't know you very well can't possibly be very detailed or provide helpful information to the Admissions Committee. A person that can't articulate themselves and address those areas being asked about (in the PharmCAS letter of recommendation) will probably not serve you well. Right? I addressed this issue in a previous post: http://pharmdadmissions.ucsf.edu/2008/09/are-letters-of-recommendation-really.html

Should the LORs come from people that know me longer or people that know me for a shorter time but have better articulation skills? Thanks!

I just wanted to say, thank you for this "recap" on LORs. I was looking for your previous post on this topic and was glad to find your link at the bottom of this post!
