Hey everyone, I wanted to seek some advice on responding to my current Ross acceptance and how to go about reapplying.

I applied for the first time to a few programs this year which resulted in one acceptance, Ross. I am extremely grateful to have the choice to be able to go there and I'm glad that I applied, but deep down it's not my ideal choice. I've worked hard the past few years and want to go to a school that I feel really excited to be at. Therefore, I've decided to reapply this upcoming cycle, but at the same time don't want to completely dismiss Ross as an option and will be including it in my 2nd round of apps (just in case).

My dilemma is: this woman from Ross reached out wanting to schedule a time to meet and discuss my acceptance. How do I tell her I am not choosing to go this year and will be applying again? I don't want to make it seem like I am ungrateful or that it's a second choice, I just think it's worth giving my applications one more shot. Should I be honest and tell her that? Will that deter them from wanting to accept me again?

My other question is regarding LORs. I have three LORs that I feel confident about including in my application again. The only thing being that it's obviously been a year since I last applied and my resume displays that I have been working as a tech for a new clinic within that year, BUT I don't feel confident about including this doctor's LOR. The doctor I worked for really liked me and is a very very sweet man, but English is not his first language and I honestly don't feel confident that he would submit the letter in time (from my time working with him I've learned he's not great with deadlines). I'm conflicted because I've heard that it would appear suspicious if I didn't include a recommendation from a doctor I've worked with for the past year because ideally he should be able to attest to my skills. Even though I already have the required 3 letters without him, do y'all think it is worth it to include this semi-unreliable doctor? Worst case scenario, he doesn't submit it. I'm just scared admissions might think it's sus if I don't include him.
