In another thread I have inquired about internships for my wife. Now I have a question about using a reference letter from someone other than a veterinarian. I have read in other places that it can be an advantage to send 1 extra reference (4 instead of 3). If the extra reference letter came from someone who is somewhat nationally known in the business/political arena. Who my wife worked directly for for 3 years prior to persuing a veterinary career and had previously written a reference letter upon vet school application. And how much does previous life experiences before vet school apply to intern/residency matches. My wife says I am beginning to be too focused or involved in this, but I realize that we may have to live in separate areas of the country for 1-4 years depending on where and if matched in the intern/residency programs. I would just like her to be able to have the best shot at getting one of her more favorable locations/positions
