Hey everyone,
I was wondering if I could get some advice regarding my letter of recommendations for this upcoming cycle. I will be applying strictly DR (not really interested in going the IR route). I will be (hopefully) getting my LORs from:
I also did a 2-week rotation with an IR as part of my core surgical rotation who I had a really good relationship with and wrote me a LOR from my VSAS application.

I was thinking about possibly asking him if he would be interested in being one of my letter writers for my ERAS application as well. My questions are:
- Would having this fourth letter make a drastic impact on my application? This isn't a research letter, just someone who thought highly of me when I rotated through his service for 2 weeks.

Thank you, I really appreciate anyone willing to offer their advice.
