Aight, few questions~

1) One of the person writing me a LOR is writing each individual school's address (that I'm applying to) on the header of the letter. Does she mail ALL three letters she's writing for EACH DIFFERENT school in one package to SOPHAS? And I'm assuming the other two recommenders will also mail 3 letters together....instead of separately, like one by one?

2) Do I mail just ONE copy of my transcript to SOPHAS? Or a copy for EACH SCHOOL that I'm applying to?

Yeah, that's it. 😀 thanks!!!
 
Also, why can't we, the applicants, just mail all of our LORs to each individual schools ourselves... instead of sending it to SOPHAS?? I mean, SOPHAS will eventually mail to each school anyway, right?
 
1) I would send them all together, but their FAQ section on their website is pretty helpful so you might want to check it out. I did mine all online, so I am not sure how it is if you use mail.

2) They only need one official transcript for all schools. Nice!

"Also, why can't we, the applicants, just mail all of our LORs to each individual schools ourselves... instead of sending it to SOPHAS?? I mean, SOPHAS will eventually mail to each school anyway, right?"

I find it a lot easier to just go to one place and do it all rather than send things here and there. I think they did it to make it easier on us and them, but I understand your frustration.

You can also email SOPHAS directly and they get back to you very quickly if you have any questions. I was pretty impressed.

Hopefully that helps.
