Hi everyone, I've noticed a lot of posts distributed throughout the threads about letters of interest. I wanted to open up a thread regarding timing, content, and whatever else on this topic.
I'll go first:
1) I figure it's never too early to send a LOI. This way, it's sure to get there before the program's ROL meeting. Right?
2) I'm planning on just addressing it to the PD i.e. "Dear Dr. X" not something along the lines of "Dear committee" but I'm not sure. What are your thoughts?
3) As for applying as part of a couple (in the same specialty, mind you) should we write separate letters to our top programs? Or do you think it is advantageous/disadvantageous for us to write a common letter signed by both of us?
Thanks for any input
