About Interfolio Deliveries for Medical and Dental Applicants
Institutions and various services use Interfolio as their primary platform to collect applicant materials. Some medical and dental organizations also list opportunities with Interfolio. Applicants can search for these opportunities and deliver their materials using the recipient's preferred method, typically Confidential Letter Upload or Partner Delivery. This article details how to initiate and create these deliveries and provides information on sending application materials to medical or dental schools using Interfolio.
With a premium Dossier Deliver account, materials can be sent by Interfolio Partner Delivery, Mail, Email, or Confidential Letter Upload
Interfolio works diligently to provide the most up-to-date information about application services, but it is advisable to verify details directly with the application service. Applicants are responsible for ensuring that their materials are submitted on time and are complete.

Please note, this is not a comprehensive list of services supported by Interfolio, but rather those we are currently aware of. If your service is not listed, please check if they accept submissions from a 3rd Party Dossier Service.
If Interfolio is unable to complete your preferred delivery method, it is recommended to request that the service submit your documents via email or mail delivery. Interfolio can facilitate these alternative delivery options.
Possible Reasons Interfolio Cannot Process Deliveries to a Medical/Dental School
- Recipient requires supplemental questions: As a 3rd party, Interfolio cannot answer on behalf of evaluators, even if information is provided to us. Interfolio can be held liable if any information supplied on their behalf is not accurate. Oftentimes Interfolio will not know the form details until processing begins. Allow sufficient time between application submission and letter delivery, and adhere to Interfolio's processing window times for all delivery types.
- Not enough delivery credits: More delivery credits can always be added to an account.
- Submitted letters lack proper formatting: Check with schools and application services for proper letter of recommendation formatting. Interfolio performs quality checks on letters included in the delivery.
Quality Checks
Interfolio performs quality checks on all letters requested by Dossier Deliver users within 1-4 days of receiving the letter. These checks include verification that:
- The letter is from the requested person
- The letter is for the correct candidate
- The proper letterhead is used
- The signature is accurate
- The date is included
We do not check whether the letter is for medical school, dental school, or a generic application. Contact help@interfolio.com for a manual check if further clarification is needed.
