Western U LOR question (+ general LOR question)

[gnuel]

Members do not see this ad.

I searched, but couldn't quite exactly find the answer I was looking for.

From what I've read, Western requires a seperate LOR form to be sent directly to their school. Does that mean that if I have all my LOR done through PharmCAS (for every other CA school except LL), I would also need an additional seperate letter sent to Western?



My second question is, I know if you submit an e-LOR through PharmCAS, it fowards the recommender a type of questionnaire like

Rate the applicant on:
Communitcation: Excellent Good Average Poor
etc
etc

something along those lines. If I have my recommenders submit a paper letter, they won't be able to answer those question. Does that matter?

Thank you for your help in advance!

I believe there is a thread with a similar question asked on the forum not to long ago, you'll need to search a little harder.

However, to answer your question, Western doesn't utilize PharmCAS LOR services, they require that you directly send the requried # of LORs directly to them. You'll need to include that in your supplemental application or have it sent to the school whenever you have access to them through your evaluator.

Hope that helps.

Western said this "The recommendations that are sent to PharmCAS are not forwarded to Western
University. We do have an evaluation form to be filled out by your recommenders.
This form can be found on our website at www.westernu.edu along with your
application and personal questionnaire. Your recommenders can fill out the form, and
attached an additional letter if they like, place it in a sealed envelope and sign
the seal and then return it to you so that you may submit one application packet. "
