Optionally Hide Applicant's Program List in Letters
This enhancement must be approved by the CAS association or UniCAS client for use in the current cycle. If activated, this enhancement is available for all participating programs. CAS association and UniCAS clients: contact a member of your account team for more information or to enable this feature.
In some CASs, recommenders can be on the committee that recommends whether to rank an applicant for admission. For example, an applicant may be graduating from Demo University and applying to its residency program. A faculty member who is writing their recommendation may also be on the residency ranking committee. As a recommender, knowing which programs an applicant is applying to may be a conflict of interest.
With this enhancement, Liaison Letters will not list the programs the applicant is applying to. This enhanced privacy helps maintain an objective recommendation process.
