A question re: Royal Dick application - can you help?

It seems that to apply to the program at Royal Dick they ask that you send reference letters directly to them (for North American applicants). Did anybody do this and how did you send them? Email? Snail mail? Did your referring parties give you a hard time about this additional request for a hard copy? Thanks for the help!

Actually they accept the VMCAS - I didn't have to send letters directly, they accepted the VMCAS eLORS.

I also just sent mine through VMCAS.

Thanks to both of you. This is my first time applying through VMCAS. Will there be a way that I can tell that the school has received (and accepted) the ELORs?

Once the eLOR is written, it will show that its completed on VMCAS. Your VMCAS application wont get sent until all the eLORs are completed (even though you have everything else completed). That's why they recommend you giving your eLOR recipients enough time to write you a good recommendation letter before the October deadline.

I understand the process but it just makes me nervous that the pdf Royal Dick sends to North American applicants says that the references must come separately directly to the school - and that conflicts with the whole ELOR process.

That's odd. I applied to all the UK schools and they didn't require me to send references seperatly. I would check to make sure just in case they change the rules for this years application cycle.

I sent my LORs directly to Geraldine Gianoppolous via email. No problems.

Thanks! Who is Geraldine Gianoppolous and how could I get her email address?
