Letters of Evaluation

Letters of evaluation are key pieces to your professional school application.  Each application has it's own way of collecting letters and number and type of letters vary from school to school.  Check with the application service you are using for additional details.  If you are applying to multiple medical or dental school application services we recommend you look into using Interfolio to collect your letters of recommendation.
