I understand that waiving my right to review my LORs is a good idea. but what about the Medical Student Performance Evaluation (MSPE)?
At most programs this is the 'dean's letter'.
An office advisor at my school informed me today that "for surgery or EM they prefer you not see the MSPE". I don't expect any weirdness on this letter, but I would prefer to be able to review everything possible.

Does anybody have any info/opinions re: this waiver?
Thanks.

I think the MSPE is the "final grade" for your medical school experience. I think you should read it. I've never heard anyone make the comment that was conveyed to you.

Actually, reading my MSPE at the end of medical school was stunning experience. turned out the faculty were much less impressed with my performance than I was. The first of many humiliating experiences to follow. 🙁
 
Thank you. I am curious and looking foward to........ 😕
Ah well, just 3 months to find out.
 
You're supposed to be able to read your own MSPE and edit it to a certain degree. It's mostly snippets of your clincial evals.

non-sense..
my school paperwork is usually full of spelling errors and mistakes. U definitely need to proof-read it be4 having them mess your life.
 
Yeah definitely read it. A good friend of mine had her deans letter constantly refer to her as a he and it spelled her name wrong too. I had to edit a few comments on mine also. Lastly I don't remember ever having to sign something indicating that I read it or not. Just the individual LORs.
