So I’m in a bit of time crunch situation here. I will be applying internal medicine this year and I have 3 LORs already (2 IM and one FM). I have a department/chair of medicine letter on the way but they are waiting to see if I can get an SEL from a preceptor to attach to the department/chair letter. My problem is my SEL letter writer hasn’t responded to my emails in a week, so I’m not sure what to do. My question is, do I actually need this SEL letter as part of my chair/department of medicine letter? My school is okay to write the letter without an SEL so that is a last resort option for me. I realize some programs specify SEL but it’s seems like it’s mostly a couple upper tier academic programs from a brief internet search.
**I go to a DO school so a preceptor typically writes the SEL and can attach the department letter if possible
Thank you!!!!!
