LOR advice

[CATallergy]

Maybe a strange idea, but I was thinking of getting one from my mom . She would write a good one. (seriously)

any thoughts?

Even if your mom is a prominent physician or someone extremely credible, med schools usually don't want applicants to receive LOR's from family members.

Bad idea. Of course your mom will write something nice about you -- it can't even be dressed up to look objective. Worse, though, is that is shows poor judgement on your part to get a letter from your mom. It's a quick way to turn a great application into hamster bedding.

Absolutely terrible idea.
