Admissions deans Mr. Maldonado (Texas A&M COM) and Dr. Morales (Texas Tech HSC-SOM) discuss how they assess letters of evaluation (LOE) and what role these letters play in the admissions process.
Learn about the influence an evaluator has with an admissions committee, and why you need to give serious deliberation to whom you select to write your letters of evaluation.
An important guide you should share with your evaluators is the "Guidelines for Writing a Letter of Evaluation for a Medical School Applicant," which outlines the areas medical schools seek in an LOE.
