What should I do?

Hey guys, I interned at a private practice this past summer and was planning on using that experience for my application next year and having the doctor write my recommendation letter. However, the online reviews of the practice are pretty bad and I don’t know if that would ruin my application. Do you think admissions committees will look up the practice? Thanks.

I doubt it. Adcoms dont have that kind of time to be doing google searches on LOR writers

Okay, thank you!

Okay, thank you!

Yup, you need not worry!
In fact, unless you are applying to DO schools, vast majority of MD schools have little to no regard for the shadowing letter. Focus on strong academic or leadership/research/volunteering letters

I don’t think it matters. Working with “bad” doctors is a really good experience too, as it helps you figure out what type of doctor you DON’T want to be.
