I plan on using Interfolio to collect letters of recommendation. I plan on applying two years from now. It is unclear to me if Interfolio is a free service or not? From my understanding, it is free to store the letters but costs money to send the letters out to each school. Do I have that correct? If so, what is the price exactly? I have seen different numbers.
My other concern is that since I am applying two years down the line, will medical schools perhaps change their guidelines and not allow a third-party service such as Interfolio to collect LoRs? I know this is the case for graduate school applications. At least some of them will not accept letters from Interfolio, even if you waive your rights to view the letter. Is there currently any medical schools that give you an issue if you use Interfolio (MD and DO)?
Any other things I should know about Interfolio? I want to ask my letter writers for recommendations ASAP while I am still fresh in their mind.
I was also thinking in the event I am rejected and have to reapply, I could reuse some of the letters without having to go through that awkward conversation of "so I got rejected at all the schools I applied to last year, can you write me another letter and go through the process of sending this letter to schools again" lol
