Applying next cycle with LoRs from 2021 and I just realized I may have a problem. One of my recommenders asked why I wanted to go to medical school. My response was a personal negative experience that deeply impacted my life. The experience involved a misdiagnosis that ended in death. This was a pivotal event in my life, but now I see why I should not have made this the "reason" I want to pursue medicine. My recommender thought it would be a good idea to include this in the letter! I am thinking about asking the prof to edit this part out. However, if I can't get in contact with them for whatever reason, would it still be a good idea to use this letter? All my letters are saved in Interfolio ( 2 science, 1 PI and one volunteering supervisor). Adding 1-2 LoRs.
