Hi there-

I know a handful of you already have interviews and even acceptances (i want to BE you! 😎 congrats!) so i figure someone out there might be able to help me.

okay so i saw this: "[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Letters of evaluation submitted by recommendation services companies are not acceptable to meet the evaluation requirements."

so that would mean no interfolio...but i love interfolio 🙁. so now do the letters have to come directly from the source or can i have them sent to/from an advisor (i'm not lucky enough to have a committee)? and on that note--can they be letters or is kcumb sticklers on using their eval forms?

any advice'd be greatly appreciated. i hate feeling like i'm so far behind...

From what I understand Interfolio is okay as long as the letters are from the required sources. Interfolio isn't considered a "recommendation" source. I think someone mentioned in a similar thread that they emailed the admissions office at KCUMB and they said it was ok. I am also applying to KCUMB and used interfolio. Good luck! Hope to see you next year at school!! 😉
