Okay, so I posted this in the pre-MD forum but nobody will respond, so I'm posting it here as well. Any help is appreciated.

1. When writing an update letter/letter of interest, should I address the envelope/letter to whoever the dean/head of admissions, or just address the envelope to the admissions office and the letter as "To whom it may concern"?

2. If I want to include updated grades, do I need to send an official transcript separately? Or would it be acceptable to print an unofficial copy myself and include it in the letter?

Thanks.

1. I think you are fine any way you go. I would write the letter to whoever sends all the emails, i.e. the head of admissions probably.

2. himm. I would probably send a transcript just to be sure.
 
1. I addressed my letters to the Dean of admissions or director of admissions.

2. I would think it's ok to send an unofficial transcript just for an update. They will request an official transcript later if they accept you.

Good Luck :luck:
