diegoS Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 Does anyone know how the letters of reference are scored? Ive talked to 4 different people all of whom are willing to write a letter for me and I need to know who to select to max my score. THANKS!!

future_doc Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 Select the potential referees who will give you a "strong" LOR. They should have your transcript, updated CV and a motivational letter,statement of Personal Statement. I don't have a clue about any 'score', but you want someone who is enthusiastic and to a degree will be invested in your future. When in doubt, use your gut.

sv3 Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 they can't make it any easier for you - they already tell you what 4 questions they want answered. I'd suggest getting them answered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addy K Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 Speaking of those 4 questions, on their website it says: Please ensure that your referee completes the reference form (available once you have accessed the secondary medicine application) and the following information Stated on the form itself it reads: On letterhead stationery, please address the following four points in your letter: 1. Do you feel this applicant should be admitted into the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry? Please explain why or why not. 2. Would you have him/her as your personal physician? Please explain why or why not. 3. Please address the moral and ethical characteristics of the applicant. 4. Please comment on any/all outstanding characteristics (the strengths and weaknesses) of the applicant. But in the "official" confidential reference form, #2 is missing even though it says, "please address the following four points in your letter". I'm guessing we should have all 4 points answered and that the reference form contains a typo...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
future_doc Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 Yes, I would think that is a no-brainer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addy K Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 I noticed at the bottom of the form they have this: Would you have this person as your personal physician? Yes ; No If no, please state why in your letter. So I guess that is the fourth point, and your referee only needs to refer to it if they wouldn't want you as their physician .. lol that'd suck - "he's a very intelligent, great person, but personally I'd never have him as my doctor" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
