Did anybody apply to Duke? I was just reviewing their website, and saw that they need an LOR from a dean. Does that mean the MSPE, or do they actually need a separate LOR from a dean? Thanks!

I'm pretty sure that they mean the MSPE. The only other thing they could ask for is a letter from the Chairman of the Ob/Gyn dept. The fact that they ask for 4 LoRs, one of which is the Dean's letter, also goes along with it, since most places ask for 3 LoRs and then the Dean's letter. Someone may know for sure, but this is the assumption that I'm going under.
