Best ----All your letter from psych doc in US with title ( like associate professor..professor..any academic position )

Good--- All letter from psych us doc but private practitioner not academic

Ok ----- All letter from psych doc from home

Not Good ---letters from diff speciality us docs ... says you are undecided ..not good.

hm, i see, wt if i get 2 letters from Psy, and others from internal medicine, and one from psychiatrist from home

Look....we all HAVE to submit atleast 4 LORs . Nothing is worse than submitting only 3 LORs...which doesn`t even complete the application..so it is not even reviewed..no chance of interview.

2 LORs from US doc is really good..if they are in University letter head then even better....it should get you good amount of interviews.

By 1st of September we all must have our application complete in every way possible...fight with what you have in hand my friend...none of us is perfect..we all have flaws....work towards minimizing it..GO WITH GOD !!
