I often see people on this site suggesting that someone may have done badly in the application process because of a bad LOR.
Which got me thinking... what kind of prof would really write that kind of letter?
When you say "bad" LOR do you just mean mediocre... or would someone actually write something like "I am not confident that Mr X is a suitable candidate for medical school"
Seriously tho, if I had nothing nice to say about someone, I would probably just refuse to write the letter. ... LOR stands for letter of RECOMMENDATION... doesnt that mean if you're writing one you are by definition recommending that person for medical school?
