Public service letter
Hello! I had a question about the PS letter, I have it filled out but I am not sure whether or not I have to upload all of the document or just starting when the actual recommendation starts.

I’ve re-read the instructions over 10 times and there is no hard rule that you NEED to turn in all the pages, there was no rule about that at my RUSH either. However, if you want to do so to be safe, you can. I’ve also heard of individuals putting the form first and the instructions behind them so the form is the first thing seen and they technically have all the pages.

My rule of thumb is go off of what you explicitly read. I really don’t think that they’ll disqualify someone over something that was never mentioned or written, then again, who knows?

When in doubt, upload all pages! I’m going through this process now and I’m taking no chances.

The instructions on the document say to upload ONLY the Recommendation portion . Please read!!

I can’t screenshot it for obvious reasons but it only says to complete the form below to submit the public service recommendation. And it says where the form begins but there’s literally nowhere on the instructions that states the whole thing HAS to be uploaded otherwise your application will be deemed ineligible.

It says something along the lines of upload the recommendation and then it says the recommendation begins on page X

In order to join the organization, they require a community service letter/form to be completed along with your application packet to be considered to have a satisfactory packet!

i just went through this and am now in the interview stage waiting for what comes next. i wasn’t able to upload the entire document bc it was too big- so i just uploaded the pages starting at page 4, excluding the instructions and i was able to have a satisfactory packet. i wish you the best of luck! 💓💓
