发帖数: 152 | 1 想让推荐人把信写好寄给我，然后我挑好的寄给ECFMG。这样行吗？
是不是就要选I don't waive the right to see the letter那一项了。
这样会不会影响申请呢？
还有，如果我让推荐人把信寄给我，是不是就不用给他们那个cover letter了。我自己
填好，往ECFMG寄的时候一起寄就行了。
谢了！ |

You don't need to send in the letters you'll not use. Even if the letters are uploaded in Eras, you can ignore them and only assign the selected letters to individual programs. You still need to provide the cover sheets to the letter writers.
Our school strongly recommends waiving the rights, because that will make the LORs more creditable for many programs. |

If you asked hime/her to write for you, why you don't trust?????

发帖数: 1334 | 4 It's tough to get any strong letters from a very short observership. People
should plan ahead with longer observerships so the physicians can get to
know you better. As Dok suggested, when time comes only ask the people you
trust to write LORs for you. And "waiving the rights" is the best way to go
(some letter writers could still send you a copy of the LORs). |

发帖数: 152 | 5 Thank you Dok. I haven't thought about this until recently I saw one of my
friends' recommendation letters. He did not get matched for 2 years. His
boss and 2 other M.D.s whom he did exterships with wrote him the letters. I
can hardly believe those are the LoR he used for match. I wonder does a half
page letter help at all? So I started to worry about my LoR.

发帖数: 152 | 6 Thank you Eric. I agree with you.
But sometimes, you only have one month in one department. What are you going
to do? Like my first rotation is 1 month in cardiology, then I am going to
move the other department for another month. The chairman of the internal
medicine wants me to see more and experience different departments. The
longest time I will stay with one group of doctors in 1 month.
But anyway, I will waive the rights. I may have thought too much. I need do
whatever I need to do and lea

发帖数: 1334 | 7 If you work hard with good communication skill, one month or longer should
be enough to give a good impression. The challenge is for those 1-2 weeks
observerships. I got eight strong LORs, couple of them come from physicians I did rotations with for two weeks. However I worked full time (and long hours).

发帖数: 40 | 9 Does the length of the letter really matters?
I saw the letter from my boss. A little bit more than half page. Do I need
to ask him to write it longer? |

发帖数: 1334 | 10 The content matters. If it's so strong, a half page can be convincing. Most
good letters range from 1 to 2 pages, because they contain some detailed
examples about the candidates.
