So I am in a graduate program this year, which required a few LORs for admissions, including my former PI, professors, etc. I know for a fact that my PI wrote me a very strong letter (knew him very well, performed well in his class/research). A few months ago I tried reaching out to him again to update his letter, via email and cell, but no responses from him. I would visit his lab, but due to distance and work/class schedule, it is difficult to just 'show up' and say hi.
The question is: should I sacrifice this strong letter from my PI, or go ahead and submit it, when it may very well be intended as a general letter of my performance (not towards medical schools)? What do you guys think? Of course I will try to make the trek personally, it is just unlikely in the next few weeks.
