thanks!
I have the same Q... But I also think there should be nothing wrong to collect everything in your hands (for the sake of better organization) and send to ECFMG in one big envelope...

Same problem with me!
I have received LOR'S but in a seald envelope without the cover page..I ahve those envelopes with me. I would really appreciate if anyone could let me know how to send it to ECFMG??
Should I have to send along with the cover page separately in a big envelope?
Should I have to send 4 coverpages for each of my LOR's or is it ok to send one cover page?

Waived LORs are prefered than non-waived ones.
But this is a terrible experience.
One of my friends applied 4 years ago, he studied in the US and got a lot of LORs.
He only submitted some of them. The left he opened and read.
And....
A LOR said that he was a good student but had terrible English--------

Well this depends ENTIRELY on your letter-writer!!
-If he/she wishes to give it to you even though you waived your right to see it, you can send it yourself (so long as they wrote in the letter that you waived your right to see it).
-Otherwise the letter-writer sends it him/herself.

But yea if the letter-writer sends it him/herself... you have NO idea what they write in it!!! So make sure the one's that send it directly to ECFMG have good things to say about you!!!

Hey, I just got off the phone with the ECFMG...
They told me if you waived your right to see the letter, then the writers HAVE to send them over to ecfmg with the cover sheet, not you. An ERAS submission form is helpful, but not mandatory, the lady said.I guess that makes it very difficult for a lot of us to fullfill this requirement.
In your case- maybe you can contact the writers and ask their secretaries to attach the cover sheet and send it to ecfmg...
hope this helps!

You're right... but say a letter-writer gives you the letter. ECFMG won't know whether or not the writer sent it, or you sent it! They're not gonna track the letter to see where it came from!
If a letter-writer gave you an original LOR, and it says on it that you waived your right to see it... as long as you just attach the ECFMG cover sheet you can just send it yourself.
The bottom line is that your writer know whether or not you waived your right to see it. Now as i've noticed, some of my letter-writers still want to give the LOR to me even though i waived my right to see it, and even though they wrote in the letter that i waived my right to see it! So in that case i'm just going to send it myself using the ECFMG Cover letter.
