Hi guys,
So I know this new Standardized letter is just a pilot this year but I have a question. My dean of student affairs pretty much told me to give my letter writers the option to writer either a traditional or standardized version for CAS. And I know most people use their ophtho letters for their ERAS TY/Prelim year apps as well. Are ya'll planning on using the Standardized LOR if your letter writer decides to write that one or are you going to have them write a second traditional LOR for ERAS? It seems like a lot to ask of letter writers to write another letter for ERAS but I'm not sure if it's okay to use the new version for ERAS.
Sorry that's a book but we don't have a home program so I don't really have anyone to ask and I'm sure no one really knows about this new letter now since it's the first year it's being piloted. Just wanted to get some thoughts on what other applicants were thinking.
