Hey,

I'm reapply this cycle and I plan to reuse my letters of recommendation from 3 year or so years ago via interfolio. I'm currently in grad school but this is my second semester. Do you think I have to have a LOR from grad school or is it okay to keep my previous ones?

I would get new letters in grad school if I were in your shoes.

3 years old LOR
They really should be from within a year of the application, but your reviewer may be happy to update that letter. I would ask.
