How long does it take to process LORs

[twisteroats]

Hi all.

I'm applying this cycle. I have all of my academic LORs working in time; however, I was waiting to ask for physician LORs till I got my MCAT score back. That being said, I'm applying EDP, and I was wondering what is a good deadline to give them. Also, what is the best way to send them? I've heard about interfolio over the website, but I still can't really figure out how it works.

Thanks!

IMO the easiest way is to just use the AMCAS Letter Service. You create an entry for your letter on AMCAS, print out the little form it creates for you, and give it to the person writing your letter. They send it to the address printed on the form and it should appear on AMCAS once its processed. Last year it only took a day or two for them to process my letters once they were received.
