that you know of?
I was looking at USU's med school admissions page and came across this:
"Some undergraduate schools have a Pre-Medical Committee that interviews students, compiles LORs for them and writes cover letters to the medical schools. The cover letter usually ranks an individual among the pool of applicants from that school. (i.e. "Recommends with enthusiasm," "recommends," "recommends with reservations" or "does not recommend.") USU prefers an applicant have a pre-medical letter, if their school offers one. " [taken from here: http://www.usuhs.mil/medschool/somfaq.html#6]
I had a mini heart attack when I read that. Would a committee actually write you a letter saying they recommended you with reservations or did not recommend you? Imagine spending hundreds of dollars on app fees to not even know that your committee wrote you a negative letter.
That doesn't really happen, does it? Wouldn't they just tell you they couldn't write you a letter instead of writing a bad one?
