Letter Packet

Medical, dental, podiatry, and optometry school applicants may choose to utilize PHA's recommendation delivery service even if they are not receiving a Composite Letter. PHA will collect and deliver at least three and a maximum of four recommendation letters in a Letter Packet, combined into one PDF and sent to centralized application services (CAS) upon request.

Eligibility

Students are eligible to apply for a letter packet as a junior, senior, and/or alum up to three years post-graduation. Individual letters of recommendation included in a Letter Packet must be requested and dated within the current application cycle. Letter Packets from previous application cycles cannot be reused; a new Letter Packet must be created for each cycle.

Application Process

Students interested in applying for a Letter Packet should join the LOR Hub Contact List to receive detailed instructions. Instructions are released each May for the upcoming application cycle listed on the contact form by the student.
