I have a strong, signed letter from a reputable person at a large healthcare related institution. Stupidly, when I asked for a letter of recommendation for my time interning under them in summer of 2016, I requested it as a signed letterhead pdf, and not as a sealed submission to a third party as is required for inclusion in primary application. The letter is dated as one year ago.
It would seem that I have to contact the letter writer, and ask them to upload the same letter to Interfolio as "sealed" letter, despite the fact that this is not exactly the case
- There is no way around this, correct?
- I may just say that "for me to upload it would be a violation of their terms of service" and steer clear of the sealed/unsealed element of it. Advisable?
- Is it problematic if the letter is dated spring 2017 and the submission dated spring 2018 such that I should request the letter's date be edited (would rather not)?
Thanks
