hi, I heard it's avisable not to provide you scores if they are not great. Is it true? I figure the program will need to know them before they make decision. Any suggestion?raised eyebrow

  #2

Good question, I have the same doubt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




  #3

this may be case to case. check the minimum score requirements. if you meet it then i guess it's ok to send your score. but try to focus their attention on something great in your CV or coverletter. it's really up to you in the long run.

WHAT IS THE COVERLETTER???? i donīt know confused

thanks, really


  #5

yes,i also dont know what is meant by cover letter,someone plztell us.

  #6

it's just an optional introductory letter. just say something like dear doctor so and so, i am (fill in your name) and i believe I am the applicant you're looking for. Then just give a brief introduction of your main good qualities. Attached is my CV and other pertinent documents. Don't use my exact words coz they kinda suck. but i hope you get my drift. that way you make them focus on the good starting points to talk about during the phone interview. god bless.

  #7

is it like the Personal Statement? I could use it instead of the cover letter. itīs the same?


  #8

no it's different and it's optional. i think the PS is a must from what i read. The nice thing about a coverletter is that it's just a brief intro. The PS on the otherhand is long and might just be skimmed over during the frantic scrambletime and so some salient points might be missed.

Good cover letter is the secret to seek phone interview.
