Would any member of an AdCom be willing to evaluate my DO LOR?

you're technically not supposed to even know what your letter writers said, this thread proably isn't the smartest idea 😛

Waiving your right to see it is not the same as not -having- a right to see it.

Many writers share their LORs with recipients for a number of reasons, not least of which is so that the recipient can prioritize/choose which letters they include as part of an application.

This letter writer was kind enough to send me a copy of my LOR, and I wondered if anyone with firsthand admissions committee experience would be willing to read it and provide me feedback as to the content being helpful/neutral/(ideally not) damaging to my application.

In truth, I believe that the letter is quite positive, but also know that my interpretation matters precisely not at all in this process.I simply want to set myself up for success as best I'm able.

Please PM if willing - any help is deeply appreciated!

Letters are supposed to be confidential. End of story.

But they aren't always. Reopening the story.

We aren't supposed to go into medicine for the money, but many people do. Do you think those people tell ADCOM members that? No.

All waiving your right to see the letter means is that you cannot ask the school to show you the letter from your application. Whether the letter writer chooses to send you the letter or not is irrelevant.

i find it highly unnecessary to ask an adcom if the letter is positive, ask a friend to read it... not hard. And if you can't tell whether a letter says positive things about you,.. well i won't even go into it -_-

 

[advair250]

The majority of people who get LORs know the person, and choose them because they will write something good about them. Of course many writers show the student the content, to see if its what they were expecting.. Mind you, many people write plenty of LORs and don't always know what approach the person wants.

Thinking otherwise is very naive..

This seems like a bad idea... reaching out to AdComs over SDN about anything so highly specific to you seems like a bad idea.

You can gauge the quality of a letter by having other people read it.

You're right. What's relevant is the applicant choosing to read it and then ask an adcom to judge it.

OP -- If the letter writer is showing you the letter, then chances are... it's a positive letter. Chill out!

As part of the admissions board for FICUONLG school of medicine, I will look at it for you.

Strange how someone on the admission board would have "ACOM class of 2017" as their signature. lul

One of my letter writers did not provide me with a copy of the letter he wrote. It's sitting in Interfolio in all its anonymous glory.

I messed up with another letter writer (my very first request through Interfolio, so I did not check the confidential box) and I was able to see their letter. I emailed them when I realized I made a mistake and they agreed to re-write the letter. They did not provide me a copy of the new confidential letter, I only assume (and hope) it's the same letter as previous.
