Here's the situation--had incredible LOR (he sent me a copy too!)from one doc with whom I did most of my experience. Should I ask for yet another one when I reapply this coming cycle (took an app cycle off)? I feel almost ashamed! 🙄 Will he think I'm a loser, wasting his time *again*? I know this is kind of pathetic, but would you go for the same one, or ask another?
 
Last year when I applied I had one person who wrote this awsome letter of rec that made me sound like mother theresa and thomas edison rolled into one. Well I didn't get in last year and this year I did ask her for another letter and to my suprise and happiness this letter was better. So yes I'd ask for another letter. Especially from someone who is a doctor. They will understand that people don't always get in on their first try. He obviously thinks highly of you and this will only show him what a determined person you are not that your a loser.
