Letter of Interest Tips for Residency Applicants
This transcript has been edited for clarity. What is a letter of interest? This is arguably the most important letter you are going to send when you are a medical student applying for a residency program in The Match. The letter of interest is one letter that you are going to be sending out to your top program. After you've interviewed at all of your different programs, you are going to rank onenumber one, and you are going to send a letter of interest. Mine was about five paragraphs, where I talked about all of the reasons why I thought I was a good fit at their program and why their program was a good fit for my life. Then, you send the letter of interest to that one program. It is crucial that you are only sending a letter of interest to one place because you are telling them that you're ranking them number one, and that you promise to do looks very bad if you end up sending a letter of interest to more than one program or if you send a letter of interest and end up not ranking them number one. It is a really important decision that you should think long and hard about, but it can really be a great strategy to let them know that you are really serious about going to that program.
