Letter of Recommendation Issues

[WhiteBoard1111]

Hello,

Anyone else experience an error message when trying to upload Req. Letters via Interfolio to the AACPMAS portal. (please view the Interfolio error message I received below)

Today I called the helpline and they stated that the req letter need to be uploaded by the recommender because a section of the application asked "how long have you know the applicant". Interfolio cannot fulfill the answer to that question nor is it legal for them to answer on the behalf of the letter written.

So it looks like AACPMAS Interfolion letter uploading is not efficient. Im assuming Il have to send each letter directly and separately to the school instead of AACPMAS.

Anyone else have experienced this???


Thank you,
Cheers

Can't we just use interfolio to send out the letters i.e. give the addresses of the schools we want? Or does it have to go through the AACPMAs portal? Seems like a double step that's unnecessary...

I have used Interfolio last cycle. I heard some people are saying that AACPMAs is now the way. But I have no way of checking that. Check with your schools.

I sent LORs to individual schools though.

The way I understand it, is that you fill all the information in AACPMAS as if you would when requesting a letter directly from the writers. The only difference is email address. Instead of your writer's email address you write down the one provided by Interfolio.

Thank you for the replies.

I just went forward and sent the letters directly to the school. Instead of AACPMAS.

I'm about to go and do that, was it easy to figure out where at each school to send the letters? Don't want to have them go to the wrong place/person!

Send them to the admissions email via Interfolio. That was my method and all schools received my letters.
