It says that one must send all of the materials in ONE package. Do they strictly enforce that? I thought you provided your letter writers with pre-addressed envelopes and they forwarded them.

i didn't risk anything getting lost. the letter writers put their letter in an envelope and signed their name across the seal.

Oh I see. Were the med school and college transcripts you sent official or un-official? And the USMLE report - original or xeroxed?

both transcripts were official (and sealed). i'm pretty sure the USMLE report i photocopied (make sure you copy both sides).

I believe I sent official transcripts for everything. (I don't remember if the USMLE has to be official - if it does it is super easy to request and they are very prompt with sending it to you).
I sent all of my stuff in one packet and I'm really glad I did. I think it sped up the processing of my application and ensured as much as possible they received everything. I have known people who have had items from their app get lost in the mail and had to later resend -- what a pain! If you send one packet with everything via certified mail - you know for a fact they received all of it. Less worries in the long run. Good Luck!!!

Thanks for the heads up guys. Is there a trick to fill in the CAS distribution list quickly or do you have to go one by one filling the # and name of prog?
