How to upload LoRs electronically?

When you ask a professor, PI, physician, et cetera to write you a letter of recommendation, how do they upload their letter to, say, Interfolio? Also, is there a limit to how many LoRs you can upload to Interfolio? I'm new to this process, so please forgive me. One more thing: when you ask for a LoR, should you clearly state: "Could you, please, write me a strong letter of recommendation, if you'd be so kind?" or something along those lines? Do you want to verbally make it clear that you want a strong letter? Thanks in advance.

There are extremely clear instructions when you make a "letter writer" account. Ask them if you can do this for them if they're technologically illiterate. 99% of profs already know the drill.

Also, is there a limit to how many LoRs you can upload to Interfolio?
No, but most schools do not take more than 5. Some no more than 3.

Yes. Ask them if they are able to write a strongly positive LoR for you.

I'd always ask if they would be comfortable writing me a strong letter for me and if they say no then thank them for their time. I've always heard to ask if the letter could be strong.


I wouldn't necessary TELL them to write me a strong letter. I always made sure the ball is in their court.
