Hey you guys,
I really need help in deciding whether to use this EM doc's letter. I do not want to mention the name but he's pretty big in the ultrasound world. Anyway, in the standardized letter, the global assessment I received was excellent (top 10%). He added comments such as me "working exceptionally hard learning ultrasound skills" "very helpful in training students" "great sense of humor, easy to get along with". Here's the kicker: when asked my chance of residing on his match list: he just put "possible match" instead of competitive or very competitive. He is at a prestigious allopathic program (no DOs have ever trained there) while I am a osteopathic applicant. Any feedback????? I am really torn. Big name with good but not great eval or small name with excellent eval? Thanks ahead of time.
