Members don't see this ad.

just wondering?
I am a Canadian, some of my LOR will be from Canada, I've heard horrible stories about the canadian postal service
just wondering if i can get my PIs to sign the seal and i registered-mail them from my home in NYC?

Not to my knowledge. Just get them to upload the letters to Interfolio, takes like a day if you do the electronic upload. And then it'll be coming via US postal service.

Medical schools virtually universally say that letters must come either from VirtualEvals/Interfolio or directly from the recommenders. I wouldn't touch them if I were in your position.

now another question
my PI said shes mailing it
i left some cash for her so she's mailing them express
the prof next door is also putting in her LOR, is that okay? 2 different sealed envelopes

As opposed to what?

as opposed to sending out 2 different envelopes

basically now it's 2 sealed envelopes in a bigger envelope


that way, i save $200 CAD
it's $13 per envelope registered

As long as they get there and you haven't looked at 'em, you're fine.
