“Absolutely great advice and content. Straight to the point. Really great help throughout. I have one question: I'm an IGM student. My school writes a very generic chairman letter, that's sent to students to uplad themselves to the ERAS website. the letter has no content at all. Cenrtain IM programs are requiring a chair letter. I have contacted all the ones I'm applying to. Some programs told me it's acceptable to substitute the chair letter with another letter written by someone whom I worked with and knows me well. Others have not responded to me- that's my problem.
Q: Do I send the chair letter anyway to prevent the risk of of the program not even considering my application (if it didn't meet all the requirements)? Or do I send a letter written by someone whom I worked with and who is a director of IM program at the hospital I rotated?
Thank you so much
