What is the general procedure for submitting a LoR by our recommender? Do they upload the PDF copy of our hard LoR? Or is there a field where they can type in their comments? I am asking this because I made a hard copy of my LoR in 2017 with the university letterheads, and I don't if that'll work this time around if a PDF copy of the scanned hardcopy is uploaded. Or are the university letterheads not required? There is also no additional information about this on the university website. I wonder why that is the case. Any replies would be highly appreciated!!
Hello
rishi141That will depends solely on particular university application policy.
I don't know how large or not, is your school application pool, but you may encounter different options.
Anyway, there is usually within your started web application option to select your desired recommendation letter providers, by putting their names and email addresses.
If that is the case, you will have then option to send them reminder email, and they will receive email from your intended university to upload their recommendation via link.
Other option for them may be to get instructions to send recommendation letter via email.
In both cases, especially in second, you can use scanned pdf copy of your existing hard copy.
If not, you will just need to retype it, so they can copy paste it.
There is almost always reserve option, to send them directly to program coordinator or to specific email, if you encounter some issues with application system on website, for instance your professors didn't receive necessary emails with instructions although system did send them etc. so you can try that as well, just ask them.
Finally, there might be "old school" option also available, to send hard copies directly via mail.
I suppose that will work for you
Just make sure they still practice that as well.
Good Luck !
