Thread: A simple question, but its worth asking for me.

I know most Carib. schools require 2 LOR's from professors/physicians..I was wondering if you apply to more than 1 Carib school then how does that work? Do I request multiple copies from the professor? I'm confused lol

Back in the day yeah that's how it would work. Now you just ask them for a general LOR for med school, have them send it to your Interfolio - Dossier, Credentials and Letter of Recommendation Service account.

What if the school requests the LORs in some stamped envelope?

The site stores emails/written LORs from professors, and then FW it to schools. Interfolio also send LOR through hardcopy and email to the schools, LORS stayed blocked from you. So you can't read and cherry pick them, keeping the legitimacy of it. A lot of schools accept them, when I applied to Ross, AUC, and SGU they all accepted them. It's very common practice now for you to get LORs in advance like 1-2month so you can have it stored when you apply to med schools.

That makes sense. Thanks a lot!

I just had my professors address them to different schools.

im not gonna lie to you. they're not gonna read it. it's just a means for making the application process look legitimate. if i wiped my tuckus after eating taco bell, folded it up into an envelope and sent it first class to the main office, i wouldn't get yelled at, because they never read it to begin with.

Pretty much from what I hear about Windsor. As long as you can take out loans to pay for tuition, they'll take you in.

for canadians, there is financial aid. i think. US students don't have that luxury.

You are right about that. Im a US citizen and i dont have loans. I am using other means to pay for it. Most students enroll in a Master's degree program (davenport, Walden, Plymouth) & use the refund check to pay for everything
