    Has anyone seen their rec letters?

    Wow, how can med schools give weight to recs when some are legitimate and amazing because they're written by profs and others are written by the students themselves? Isn't that totally ridiculous? Do med schools know which undergrad schools guard the letters like a hawk and which have the...

    Has anyone actually seen their med school or other rec letters? Do most letters give a standard overview of the applicant? How many are extrelemely glowing? It seems like most professors would try to write about you in the best light, so how do admissions committees go based on the letters...
