Chinese medical graduates please - - ArchivalUser - 05-10-2004 tina I called my medical school. They said it would be impossible to give me a Dean's letter. Do you have a similar situation? is this Dean's letter "a must" for Match? Thank you very much for any suggestions. 0 - ArchivalUser - 05-12-2004 terr Deans letter is not required for FMG, your Principal can also give it check with them 0 - ArchivalUser - 05-19-2004 gulf I am Chinese Graduate. Can you tell me your e-mail. I want to contact you. thanks! 0 - ArchivalUser - 05-19-2004 4Fools Yes its pretty much a must. If your own dean doesn't give you a letter what are the hospitals going to think about you. You need to get this letter even if you have to pame people off, without it its hard. Its like walking on water. good luck 0 - ArchivalUser - 05-19-2004 ly i have same problem. i graduated long time ago, already dont know who is dean...hope someone can help 0 - ArchivalUser - 05-20-2004 David - kwsdavid Same thing here.

I would like to know who writes this letter, who signs the letter, etc. In return, I can give you some books or questions for USMLE Steps 1, 2 and 3. Thanks. 0 - ArchivalUser - 05-24-2004 sun Dear Doctor: It is understood that non-US medical schools are usually not familiar with the concept of the Dean's Letter (MSPE). Therefore, here are your four choices, in the order of desirability: 1. Try to get an MSPE from your medical school or 2. try to get a Dean's Letter from them or, 3. if you have an old Dean's Letter, send a copy of it to us. 4. If none of this is possible, be sure to click NO in the Common Application Form (CAF), that you do not have a Dean's Letter or MSPE. Note: If you do not submit a Dean's Letter or MSPE and you fail to click NO, your application will show up on the Program Director's Workstation as "Incomplete". By clicking NO, the question has been answered. They will no longer expect a Dean's Letter or MSPE, and the item "Dean's Letter/MSPE" has a check mark. Click on the FAQs button at www.ecfmg.org/eras and click on MSPE/Dean's Letter for more details. Sincerely, Your ERAS Crew at ECFMG/Mr. J. ---------------------------------------------- BTW, I read the first aid for match. It says that dean's letter is the last document the program looks at. And for IMG, this is the least important material for getting into the residency. It is better to have one. But if you cannot get one, just remember to click NO in the Common Application Form (CAF), that you do not have a Dean's Letter or MSPE. |
