Hey guys. I'm applying in Pediatrics this year and I just ran into a huge problem regarding LORs. So far, my letters are: (1) Chairmans letter, (2) Letter from PI I've worked with for nearly 6 years who's an MD/PhD in Neurology, and (3) Peds attending I worked with during my Sub-I.
I asked another Peds attending I worked with for a letter, but apparently he's infamous for agreeing to write letters but never actually writing them. It's highly unlikely that he's going to end up writing my letter since he hasn't responded to me in 2-3 months despite me constantly reminding him about the letter. I was really banking on his letter, so I didn't ask anybody else to write me one.
My question is...should I just go ahead and submit the Chairman's letter as a 3rd letter even though it's probably quite impersonal and most of the programs I'm applying to don't require it? Or should I ask my Family Med attending I worked closely with last month to write me a letter last minute?
Please help!!!
