Whats the deal with the new AMCAS Letters system?
UVa MSTP has access to letters from the AMCAS Letters system. Go ahead and assign the letters to the University of Virginia, and our office will be able to retrieve them. Here’s the paragraph from the Medical Admissions website: Please note that the University of Virginia School of Medicine only accepts letters of evaluation/recommendation through AMCAS. Letters of recommendation may not be mailed directly to the University of Virginia; all letters are required to be submitted to AMCAS. There are several mediums by which a letter writer can send your recommendation to AMCAS. Letters may be sent to AMCAS through VirtualEvals, Interfolio, and via the mail. In addition, letter writers who currently mail evaluations can opt to upload letters directly to AMCAS through the AMCAS Letter Writer Application (anticipated to be available in late fall). For full details as to how to utilize the AMCAS letters service, please visit the AAMC website at http://www.aamc.org/students/amcas/faq/amcaslett
