I couldn't find a answer to this question, so I might as well ask this. My undergrad advisor uploads all my letters to all my schools in one shot whether I received a secondary or not. I've completed a couple secondaries before she uploaded all my letters. Should I be notifying each individual school that I completed a secondary for that my letter has been sent or should I let them handle this in their own ways?

Wait, so did your advisor just upload them on Interfolio, or did they actually send them to all the schools? Those are two different things.

If they sent them to schools, don't worry about it, just make sure you check the status of your app at the schools to make sure they didn't lose them since you sent the LORs early. If they just uploaded them, send them via Interfolio to all the schools that sent you secondaries.
