Hi all,
I have a dilemma about LORs. Basically I'm planning on applying to categorical IM and have a department letter + 3 very strong letters from my third year core IM clerkship and two others who I've worked with and know very well clinically and personally.
The issue is that I've heard from others that we should use a sub-I letter. I finished my sub-I in IM a while ago and could get an LOR, but I think that I would only get an average letter, and I've heard that anything less than great is a red flag.
tbh I'm probably not gonna use a sub-I letter, but just wondering what other people's thoughts are, thanks!
