"expert" is the last thing i am
waive or not to waive is ur decison on basis of how close ur to attending. u can tell him that u want a sealed lor and download the eras cover sheet and give it to him. then try to collect back the lor and post it urself bcoz some attendings can be busy and forget..

address is the same market street one. sealed lor is one with a stamp and stuff which should only be opened by the appropriate person

Dear Friends
I'am really confused about this LOR. It is only an attending in a teaching hospital that is qualified to write a LOR or any doctor can write LOR..i'am really confused with that
Thanks

a teaching hosp attending as a LOR writer is the best, the "creme-de-la creme", mon cher...
any other doc (preferably us based) is doable...
bottom line - just like for everything else in life - get the best ya can and accept the rest!

For the "waiver" thing, I would waive my rights. I take it as the issue of whether or not you trust the writer who you suppose to trust if you ask him/her to support your application, don't you think?! So here the question will be about who you would trust enough to ask for the reference letter instead of whether we need to waive or not...

abood - ur right ya akhi
any1 can write an lor. but its prefered u get it from some1 who has seen u work in a clinical setting.
flex - u cna do it bothways. some profs wanna save on fedxing a letter. u cud pick up the tab.
cali - unless ur very sure its gonna b a strong 1 - dont waive. i got my strongest lors from most unlikely sources. and the ones i expected to be rockstar turned out to be flop/popstar
apurva
ps: yes im very antipop

ok, most of my professors told me to write what I want & he'll sign.. can I at the end make he choose: don't waive , so that I make the LOR stronger, then I take it after closing with stamp, to post it?

superabood, I think if you have this opportunity, it is better to waive, a bit tricky!

anyhow, anyone know what is:
1- the (submission form from ECFMG) mentioned in the 1st post here?
2- the CV: mine or the writer's? what's it value?
