Hello everyone,
Applying IM this cycle. I have searched forums and not found an answer for this.
For Internal medicine, you are usually advised to have a Departmental Chair letter (sometimes these are not personal because the chair doesn't get to know all students).
For programs that say 3 letters, including the Chair letter, is it okay to send 4? Or would programs get annoyed and only select 3 at random to read?
My fourth letter would be a research letter. I know my first three are strong, but I don't want to be at a disadvantage by not sending a fourth letter when I have one (especially because my application is very average and I need all the help I can get).
Thoughts?
