Post all questions related to Letters of Recommendation here.
Before posting, please read the FAQ below. The pre-allo thread also has some very good information on LORs.
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of letters of recommendation does my school require?
Each school requires different letters of recommendation. See the 2014 Osteopathic Medical College Information Book (PDF) for a complete list of the requirements. Scroll down to the school that you're interested in and look under the category "Supplemental Application Requirements."
Are letters of recommendation part of the primary application?
Unlike AMCAS, AACOMAS does not process letters of recommendation. It is your responsibility to get the appropriate letters of recommendation to each school as part of the secondary application. There are services that can aid in this process, such as Interfolio (see below).
What is Interfolio and how do I use it?
Interfolio is a service that receives, stores, and sends letters of recommendation. Your evaluator can mail or upload a letter of recommendation to Interfolio, Interfolio will electronically store the letter, and then you can send copies of the letter to as many schools as you wish. A major advantage of this is that your evaluator only needs to send one letter of recommendation in and then you can send it to as many schools as you want, when you want. See the Interfolio website for more information.
