Hello

I am currently looking for off cycle openings, and many of the openings state that they want everything emailed directly to them, one being the LORS. Since in the LOR it states the applicant waived his/her right to view the letter, how does one go about sending the letters? If a position pops up, one need to send the LOR ASAP, and waiting on your LOR writers to email them or send them may take a long time in many cases. Would it be bad if I was able to get a copy of my LORS and send them to prospective off cycle programs, even if it says on the LOR my right was waived to see the LOR? any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Waiving your "right" to see the letter doesn't mean you can't see the letter. Ask the writers if they'd send you a copy. If they say yes, you're in business. If they say no, you don't want that one anyway.
