To aPD Sir,

I recently got two US LORs, one from an attending Physician,and another from the Vice Chair.But,one of the LORs is sealed in an envelope and I have waived my right to see it.I can never know what is written in this LOR,but the other one by the Vice Chair reads like:

"and more importantly demonstrated an excellent ability to synthesise the facts of the cases and develop differential diagnoses.Although my time with --- was brief,he immediately made a memorable impression as a very bright Physician eager to be an active team player and learn."

So ,Sir,as a PD how much weight would you give to such an LOR?

And, since I do not know the content of the other LOR,what should I do in such a case?
Regards!
Thanks!

In general, I would submit both LOR's. In this country, it is virtually unheard of for someone to write something bad in an LOR -- they will refuse to write one instead. Two letters are better than one.

Sir,thanks indeed for clearing my doubt.
