Hi, I was wondering if any of the schools will give out interviews before we submit LORs. I am using interfolio to send in my LOR so I was wondering if I could send it electronically and how long does it usually take for the schools to confirm that they received it. I know it may vary from school to school so it would be nice to get input about different schools.


Thanks in advance
 
Some DO schools will extend an II without the LORs, but this occurrence doesn't happen often. I've gathered this info from reading the forums over the past few weeks.

It usually takes the school a few days to a week to process the electronic LORs sent through Interfolio.
