hey laptop you seem to know what you are talkng about, what is your opinion on this. I have 1 lor pending, it should be scanned in by early oct. I have 3 lors but have sent only two to the programs, leaving my application technically incomplete, i feel if i send 3 lors now (which make my appy complete) then programs may not look for my fourth lor which i feel is strong. What should i do? Send the 3rd and assign the 4th? or hold out for the 4th to be scanned then assign both lor 3 and 4? Thanks

NO bhagat ..waiting for the 4th lor will be a mistake .Time is crucial..Programs will have a look at your 4th lor someday .BUt if they have already decided on which candidates to interview then you may never get a chance..SO make your application complete so that programs can have a look at other parts of your application...THis is a game where time is the word ..You take too much of time out ,you are out of the game ..At the moment you are weighing time against the good comments in your 4th lor..Believe me at this time time will be the clear winner hands down..I am not saying this to scare you bbut to set in you the urgency which you should exercise in sending the 3rd lor. I hope it helps

We will be there maverick if you decide not to venturre into the keyboard coloring business.THe first injection of metal(iron sulphate) is ready ..I have spent my 40 $ kept for NRMP registration on processing the metal .SO i dont have money for NRMP anymore.there is no going back for me .If you dont want to start the busuiness ,i will start observing your avataar closely to learn how you color the keyboard and then may be i will have to take the onus on myself .In that case I would like to hire you as the CHIef (P) surgeon in my hospital. What say maverick
