Hi,
I am an IMG and I did some clinical electives in Dec 2014 and I asked my consultants if its possible for them to write my an LOR when I plan to apply. I plan to apply for the 2018 match in IM. I have been in contact with them since then, almost every 3/4th month. I asked them a few weeks if they can write me an LOR and they agreed. My question is, having LORs although written in June/July/August of 2017 about elective experiences so long ago..would that be harmful to my application? I have a few more LORs from externships i did this year, but because i know these consultants longer, im hoping that they might have more things to write about me. Would really appreciate some insight into this.
