If you need something overnighted or want confirmation or are trying to send an entire packet, it gets prohibitively expensive. <BR/><BR/>Using for reference management seems alright - I'll be able to store the letters for awhile, since my alma mater doesn't.

Not _only_ do you get the additional coverage, but the very act of sending an extra letter is a reinforcement stimulus for your name.<BR/><BR/>Even better of course if you can accompany with a note which mentions 'in the meantime, these five papers have been accepted, I have won these two awards, and four of my recent grants were funded' (!)...Ewanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15587749873205076612noreply@blogger.com
