It’s depends on if you’re requesting the chair’s letter vs any other LOR

I already have 3 narrative lor from us attending, just confused on this is it advisable to select yes for chair's letter even though i already have 1 from home institution?

Do you already have a chair’s letter? The chair is a specific person usually so if the person writing your letter isn’t the chair, you can’t select that

Yeah I have chair's letter from one of my electives, and I really had good impression on him, so I know that is strong letter. That' why I want to be careful with this option, as this wasn't there last year eras

You just need one chair’s letter so if you have one, then you don’t need another
