Hello!
I have quite a few letter of recommendations from professors and MD's and DO doctors. I have around 8 total, I was really good at networking with my professors and the doctors I worked under for a few years. My question is, what is a polite way to ask a former professor if the letter they wrote for me is a "GOOD" and not something that simply states I was a student in their class and got this and that grade. I picked professors that knew me pretty well, but I also know that they sometimes get lazy and don't write a good letter. Is it fine to send an email such as:
Hello Professor X,
Thank you very much for your decision to support me in my journey to medicine. The letter you wrote is a critical part of my application, and I am truly thankful to have gotten one from you. I am applying to medical schools in the next few weeks, and just wanted to triple check every part of my application. I wanted to ask if the letter that you wrote for me is a GOOD letter of recommendation. I'm sorry for such a question, however with how competitive medical schools are I really want to make sure every part of my application is stellar and beyond.
I truly do appreciate your time in reading this email, and look forward to hearing back from you!
