Submitting 5th LOR

[Guest]

I have 4 letters on ERAS.

- home chair
- away chair
- NSGY mentor
- basic science research-year MD-phD non NSGY PI

And I just got my away #2 chair letter. Already have a few interviews. Would it be worthwhile to email this 5th LOR remaining programs, or overkill and doesn't matter?

Same question from me. Not quite sure what to do with it since my 2nd away is a bigger name as well.

Unless you're getting a glowing letter from Spetzler it doesn't really matter at this point. You could ask the coordinator to forward it to the places you're interviewing at or ask for an enveloped copy to bring with you.

I had 3 letters added to my application, I emailed all the programs I applied to, some got back to me with a thank you for the update and some said we only accept the 4 LORS added to your ERAS application. It's worth the try tho.
