finks Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 Hello All, I was just wondering if anyone knows if the three references that you choose simply fill out a form or if they get to send in a letter as well? Thanks f Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiebs13 Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 It's all electronic. They are sent a form via e-mail with questions that they are required to answer and send back. Not sure what the questions are but that's how it works. Goodluck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanis Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 I'm not sure if there is a section to attach a letter or not. I assumed there was but havent been able to find out either way. In the FAQ for interviewees there is a box to tick where they allude to letters being part of the process, since they try to answer the question "Can my referee send his/her letter by mail?, unfortunately the answer talks about a form, and not a letter. I have an old evaluation sheet from UBC Med and it had a place for evaluating the strength of referee letters, so I think it might be the case. In any event, I email admissions and hoepfully their response will shed some light. I certainly hope letters are allowed, since I have three referees that have already written them for me!

sharmadharma Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 It is a form with questions as well as a reference letter (if same as previous year) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanis Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 I just got an email back about this and was told that the referees receive a form and that "There is space for them to write additional comments if they wish". How much room? Not sure. But I gave my referees a personal email beforehand to give them a heads up on what I thought the format might be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
