I just got a copy of a letter of rec from a doctor that i worked with, and i am pretty sure its awful. Basically it says, "Student doctor X worked under my supervision for 50 hours at The Clinic. She is dedicated, hardworking, blah blah some more thesaurus adjectives. She will be a good doctor."
When I read postings about making sure to get REAL or GOOD letters of rec, I am pretty sure that this wouldnt qualify as one of them. But, the problem is I found one that was sent to me when I was interested in surgery and needed one for an externship, and it was just as generic. So, looking like there's a pattern here.
I am now freaking out. Am I screwed?
Other info: step 1 202, mostly passes, honors in that first letter writers clinic, going into peds, wanting to return to california or stay in chicago.
