All of my letters have a handwritten signature except one. I informed this writer very clearly and carefully to have a handwritten signature about a year ago when she wrote it, and she even confirmed she did so. However, I just recently purchased an Interfolio subscription, and it informed me that she only typed a signature. Is this OK for DO schools or no? All of them say just include a signature, not specifically if electronic is acceptable or not. So sorry if this is a bad question, thank you all.
