Important LOR info for University of Washington (Seattle)

Members don't see this ad.

While I'm sure many of you applying to UW have already figured this out, for those who haven't:

The AMCAS letter pilot does not apply for the University of Washington MSTP. Only the medical school admission program signed on to the letter pilot. So if you are applying to UW MSTP, you must send your letters in directly to the MSTP office. The addresses are on the web site, but here they are too

US Mail address (for US regular mail and express mail):
Health Sciences Center
Room I-264
University of Washington
Box 357470
Seattle, WA 98195-7470

UPS/FedEx/DHL address:
Health Sciences Center Room I-264
University of Washington
1959 NE Pacific Street
Seattle, WA 98195

After submitting my secondary and not seeing any change in status, I got worried. Now I feel dumb, but I'm sure anyone in the same boat will appreciate this.

I think my undergrad pre-med office sent my letters via virtual evals to the med school. Is that acceptable?

I'm not totally sure. Their website seems to suggest that they go paper only by not mentioning anything about VirtualEvals or InterFolio. If it was sent a while ago and you still don't see it on the status page, I would give them a call. They might just not have the same access as the med school, just like they don't have access to the AMCAS stuff. Good luck!

Just called UWash today, if your letters were sent by virtualeval, they will pull your letters after finishing the secondary, this process may take a few days.
