In a last ditch effort to apply to schools that require non-science LoR (about 5 of the ones I'm interested in) I asked my English TA to write me one and my professor agreed to cosign. I"m confused on who I should send the interfolio request form to.

I did the same thing for a non-science LOR. I have it under the TA's name. I guess I never even thought about that, tbh.
 
I'm thinking I might send the interfolio request to my TA? If the professor and him both sign it then the eventual school will end up seeing it anyway so I'm hoping they'll be ok with that.

Bumping this thread because I have the same question and would like more opinions

My bad, I actually got a response from the schools about this and totally forgot about this thread.

I e-mailed several schools (New York Medical, Wright State and several others that require non-science) and they said I can have the letter addressed to my TA (both on Interfolio and AMCAS). They said they'll see the Professor's signature alongside it and won't throw it in the Others pile. At least that's what they told me, they'll probably change their minds without telling me knowing my luck.

This is what I'm worried about as well.
So I guess the safer bet is to send the request to the prof and try to have the prof upload it once he/she receives the letter from the TA, but I could imagine all the delays and miscommunication this may lead to...

Anyways, thanks for the update and reply!
