and I need visa
scores 88/99
I choose to focus on writing strong personal statement and appealing to the human side of things: talked alot of my volunteer activities over the years.
I think having lor from people who know you well in your home country is just as good if not better than random us lor.
That's just my two cents

Non-US Lors go to trash, unless written by reputed people, my 10 cents. Everything is relative here. If other people can get US lors, then why look at non-US lors..point is PD has to know who is writing the LOR, to make a difference

I disagree nostringsattached: Physician in my countries are physician just like us doctors. They have worked longer and more closely with u most times and can speak of your character in addition to clinical skills

not all IMGs go to your med school, so dont make any generalizations here saying that Non-US lors are better than US Lors..Thank you and congratulations for going to that Med School.
