So I got this from U of Cinci to send in my LORs. My school has a letter service and sends in the LORs as one packet to the individual schools. WTF is this virtual eval stuff. What should I do? Anyone else apply to U of Cincinatti and from a school that sends in letter files in packets like mine?


Please check yes/no for virtual evals!


For students who apply using either Interfolio or Virtual Evaluations, you must submit the letters required to meet the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine recommendation minimum standards through those services. A student who submits letters through either Interfolio or Virtual Evaluations is automatically marked “complete”. Thus, the applicant is responsible for making sure that they have submitted the required letters of recommendation.
Failure of the applicant to fulfill their responsibility in making sure the letters submitted through Interfolio or Virtual Evaluations meet the requirements, will affect consideration during the application and selection process.

*My letters of recommendation are being submitted by my Pre-Medical Advisor or myself through Interfolio/Virtual Evaluations, I understand that I am not listing the recommenders.Check Yes or No"

Check with your school. I was on the same boat with you and called my school's pre-med advising office. They told me that the committee letter will be sent to schools through this virtualeval thing and I need not worry about it at all myself.

I don't have a premed advisor nor does my school grant committee letters. They are all letters from professors. I sent them to the central letter service at my schools career center. I just have to make a request to have them send the LORs to the schools I want them to send them too. I'm pretty sure this is by US mail. Maybe it is some kind of online thing though. I'll find out.

Anyone else in the same situation? Particularly University of California students... I think we all have a similar type of letter sevice thingy.

I don't understand what your question is. Interfolio and virtualevals are online credential management services used by many students whose schools do not have a career center that handles LORs. Your school does so just request the school to send the LORs. If the secondary asks you if you are using interfolio or virtualevals than click no.

Maybe I am missing your question?
