I'm just curious to know what you all think about this. I applied for osteopathic general surgery residency positions through ERAS. I called and emailed my school several times to ensure that they received all 3 of my letters of recomendation. I was then assured that they were received and would be uploaded ASAP by my school. I took their word for it and quite frankly was not really sure how to verify on my end that they were uploaded. I then only received 2 interview invites- St. Michaels Episcopal and Peninsula. I decided not to rank either program and took my chances on the scramble. On scramble day, I requested the school to fax my info to several programs that I spoke with. At that time they told me one of my letters of rec was missing- not in my file and never uploaded!!! When I approached the dean of my school with this info he basically said that he doubted the reason I did not get many interviews was due to the missing LOR. Would programs consider my application with one of my letters missing or did my school completely screw me over???
