Hi everyone
i hope someone can help me with this question.
I'm having an issue with recommendation letters. I applied for psychiatry and pathology on eras on sept 1. the problem is i designated one of my letters, that is a letter from a psychiatrist, to the path programs. I thought this letter would be a more general letter but in it it says i want to be a psychiatrist;etc---some of the path programs i applied to already uploaded that letter. So my question is: is there any way i can delete that letter from their computer systems or whatever
and does that look really bad ---to have a letter saying i want to be a psychiatrist when i'm applying for path programs.
luckily i didn't send my path letter to the psyc programs

I dont believe you can delete it at this point. Once a place has gotten it its too late. Only thing you can do is make sure you dont send it to path programs again. THe program might think why are we getting a psych LOR but its not a disaster. You can always come up w/ something like at the point in med school I was really thinking about going into psych but later I became interested in path and I just included that LOR b/c I worked very closely w/ that physician and I feel he really knows my work ethic, committment, etc...
