Are we allowed to give programs more than the standard 3 LORs? Is this looked badly upon?

Thanks!

don't give the program more letters than they ask for - it will just make it look like you can't follow directions.

I searched SDN EM and found a couple of references to this. It looked like both BKN and Seaglass said it was okay to submit four letters - Seaglass said something like "if they are good".
So, if you had 3 advanced EM rotations and got a SLOR from each, and then a letter from your department chair at your school - how could you leave one out?

I had one EM letter, one pedi EM letter, and two SLORS (from SubI's). So I submitted all four. No one complained.

That's what I was thinking.

I'm meeting with my school's ED chairman tomorrow so I will run this by him and see what he says.

Thanks fellas. 🙂

I had 4 letters, 3 of the SLORS that were sent to all 30+ places I applied. I got more than enough interview invites. It's not a big deal.
