How should I complete the Letters of Evaluation (LOE) Section?
The vast majority of AMCAS schools are participating in the AMCAS Letters of Evaluation (LOE) system, so in all likelihood you will need to complete this section. You will usually only need to enter one letter in the LOE section, however. Your HPAB packet contains our cover letter and also the 3-6 individual letters of recommendation you have designated, but it counts as a single letter for AMCAS purposes. Do not list the letters of recommendation in the packet individually on your AMCAS. When you add the letter (the HPAB packet), make sure you designate it as a “Committee Letter” (not “Letter Packet”). You should then list your pre-health advisor as the Contact/Author. Note that AMCAS assigns a 7-digit Letter ID number to your letter, which is different from your 8-digit AMCAS ID number. We need both of those to transmit your HPAB packet, so we’ll ask for them on the form when you request. You don’t need to send in the actual AMCAS letter request form, since the letters are sent elect
