Just wanted to get some opinions on my situation. I currently have 1 letter of recommendation from a Dermatologist and have had trouble getting another two letters from dermatologists due to limited time spent with attendings and one attending who I have not been able to get a hold of to get my letter back (he is out of the country for 2 months now). I am currently doing an away rotation and hoping to get an additional letter from this rotation but that will not be until the end of October almost.
So, should I submit my applications with one letter from a dermatologist and then 2 other letters from a couple of my clerkship directors (both very strong letters), submit with just one dermatologist letter and 1 clerkship director letter now and then add the second dermatologist letter afterwards, submit with 1 dermatologist letter and 2 clerkship director letters and then add the second dermatologist letter later when it is available, or do something entirely different.
The issue I am debating is a second dermatologist letter versus waiting longer to have my application be complete. I know there is probably no correct answer for this situation but just wanted to get some opinions. If you need any additional information please ask.
