Hey Apurva, you are a moderator at residents cafe, can you plz tell me details about their list i mean how accurate is it and how do they collect information, you know lot of lists are there & each one saying they are the most reliable ones.I was short of time, couldnt complete my own list.
Another q, i have waived my right to 2 LORs, can i see the content once they are scanned at ERAS. Can i print them as i need them for an observership application.

im sorry prab wud be the best person to ask about the lists. i have no role monetary or otherwise to play in them.. they have a thread on the forum

no. only way u can see those lors are by befriending a nice pc like bbbsmiling face

Don't even count on that Apurva - I just had one of my residents ask me where they were on my rank list 4 years ago. I told him that he would have to get me really, really drunk to give that secret away. You waived your right - I'm not going to show you letters......unless you get me really, really drunk.....

excuse me: waive my right = I can see the LoR contents

don't waive my right =I can't see the LoR contents

is that right or I confuse them?

oooops, thats so tough, actually i am applying for this observership just for the purpose of geting into residency in the same program, what should i do ?????

  #11

Should i be honest and tell them directly, that i had waived to see letters, now i managed to get photostats, bcoz its difficult to make new letters now,& that too from India, it took me 2 months to arrange all this, time is running out plz, i am stressd.

  #12

im sorry i really dont know about this 1. maybe bbb can help for she might have dealt with such situs in past. i wud consider sending across deans letter as a reco letter as thats open to all

plz dear bbb give some positive suggestion.


  #14

And why would you be doing an observership if you weren't trying to get into their residency - what's wrong with telling the truth?

Good luck
