Sorry for the late response.
Thank you for replying. I really appreciate it. :)
I am applying for Internal Medicine.
I have another question. I have an LoR from an Urologist (My 4th LoR (including LoR from my medical school in India)). Urology being a surgical branch, should I assign it to programs that require only 3 LoR's as an additional LoR.

U r fine for IM.
If a program requires only three LORs then u shud only send three,not more.U shud send IM faculty LORs to the IM programs.If u have IM LORs,why shud u send Surgery LORs?
Good Luck!
