Hi guys,


Don't scream at me if the answer to this has been covered...I swear I searched SDN up and down and couldn't find the answer...

If I'm sending my letters through Interfolio should I wait until I have all of the letters together and send them out in a packet? I know pricewise its more prudent to do that, seeing as how they charge per delivery...

But I also know that the earlier the better...would just sending it piecewise allow the medical school to download it at their leisure and get everything together better? Or would it likely add more confusion?

Your application won't be complete until all letters of recommendation are received, so sending them piecewise will just increase your expenses with zero return on investment. Now, if you don't plan on sending ALL of your letters to every school, that's a different story. Suppose you already have 5 or 6 letters in your account and you can meet a school's requirements using those letters - then you can decide to forgo the late letters in favor of completing your application earlier. I actually did this with most of my schools; 6 letters was plenty so I chose to complete the application rather than wait for the 7th letter. Of course, if they request additional info., I can always send that extra one.

Good !
