Hello all,
I'm applying to anesthesiology in the 2012-2013 cycle. Today, one of the docs who agreed to write a LOR for me told me I should just draft him a letter, "not make myself sound like God", and give it to him to put on letterhead and sign.
This feels...weird. While loads of students have said this is my chance to make sure I have a great LOR in the bag, I was wondering how current anesthesiologists felt about this practice. Have you ever asked a student to do this? Is it kosher? Should I just shut my mouth and do it, counting my blessings that I've essentially been given carte blanche?
And along the lines of being kosher, does this mean I don't get to check of "waive my right to view letter?" Ugh.
Thanks for the input.
