MCAT45 Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Hi. I have a major concern. I often read on Studentdoctor how american faculties write "walk on water" and "most exceptional" LORs for students who simply took their course. In Canada, I'm not sure ANY of my professors will go this far - and I have many A+s. So what is your opinion on this situation? Have any of you being hindered by a lukewarm LOR?

boobiman Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 I dont see why there would be difference between a letter written by an american or a canadian prof. I mean if you know them well, and you stress to them that this means a lot to you, they should write you a good letter. A friend of mine actually asked a bunch of his profs straight up if they would write a strong letter. A few of them agreed and a few other were like meh. Since these letters are confidential, it is best to get them from profs who know you well and are you are certain will give you good letters.

animo_acid Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 DO you think I need to submit more than the minimum number of required letters? Would submitting only the required number of references reduce my chances? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
