A wish list for an evaluator would be the following: S/he is senior faculty with a weighty title who is well known in his/her field. S/he is in a specialty that is the field to which you are applying or a closely related one. S/he has spent significant time with you. S/he is an experienced letter-writer. S/he has explicitly stated s/he will write you a strong LOR. It is important to directly ask any potential author, “Can you write me a very strong letter for residency?” Of course all of these qualifications are not possible for all letter writers.
