I apologize in advance if this question is rudimentary. I was not able to find an answer to this through searching old posts.
I am preparing to reapply this coming year.
I have an LOR from a volunteer experience written in 2022. This writer retired soon after I left this organization.
Is this LOR okay to use this upcoming cycle? A new volunteer coordinator was hired shortly after I had left this organization.
I had previously reached out to this new volunteer coordinator to ask them if they could verify my experience for AMCAS. They were happy to and also mentioned that the previous volunteer coordinator that I worked with had nothing but positive things to say about me, and that they will be happy to provide a positive reference on the organization's behalf.
Is it worth asking them to write me a new LOR despite never having met them? Or should I try to find a new LOR to replace it? I would love to keep this LOR as this previous volunteer coordinator new me well, and I feel this letter is an accurate representation of me during my time at the organization.
Edit: Thought that I should mention that I also had this experience listed as one of my most meaningful experiences on AMCAS. It also made up the most hours of my clinical experience (500+ hours)
