I have asked several professors for LOR and they were more than happy to write one, but here is the problem: They asked for the name of the person and their address to send the LOR. I am applying to about 10 schools so how do I do this? Do I have them send the LOR to each individual school, which would be redundant or do I use something like Interfolio and have the professor write one and then have Interfolio send one to each school.
Help me out.
Thanks
 
#1 Check if your school has a letter service that performs just like interfolio.
#2 If they don't or you want to be a bit more controlling in the process, Get Interfolio.
#3 If your budget is too tight for Interfolio, then go with addressed envelopes.

I am using Interfolio to send out my letters. It's too much of a hassle for the professsor to print out, sign, seal, and mail 10 letters. From what I've read on this forum, Interfolio works great, so I trust them. Plus if a USPS or a school loses a letter, you don't have to hassle the prof to send out another.
Goodluck.

but make sure ur premed office doesnt do this first.

for me, the premed office does the lor duplication and sending 🙂
 
Yea, I already checked with the school. The pre-med office does not do that. I guess I will use Interfolio.
Thank you
 
Please excuse my ignorance but what's "Interfolio?" Thanks.
