Sending LOR's directly

[gamecock83]

Well, I'm just applied 3 and a half months earlier than last cycle and to 10 schools instead of 1...

All of my lor's are not on AADSAS forms and it wasn't a problem to send them to my school last year directly. Does anyone know if any schools do not accept the letters directly? I plan on checking and double checking behind each one sent.

Now to go study for the DAT.

Good luck everybody.

I believe BU doesnt want you to send it directly. My question is....

Every school wants a different combo of LOR's. When you go through AADSAS, does every letter get sent to every school or do you tell them which to send where? More important, does it matter?

For example, one school may want a character ref, science prof, and dentist......another may want 2 science prof and 1 liberal arts prof........ So say that means you have 5 LORs (Character, Dentist, 2 Science Profs, and 1 Liberal Arts) Will all 5 get sent to both schools even though each only want a particular combo of the 3?

Yeah all five will be sent to all the schools so you want enough LORs to cover the requirements for every school.
