Amy- I’m glad you asked this! We do use filters for letters. We require 3 letters and, after our stated deadline, we consider applications with less than 3 letters to be incomplete and we don’t send them to faculty to review. But since I saw your question and recognized we had a short turnaround time this year, our PD did take a look at all the applications that had been labeled as “incomplete” to make sure we didn’t miss anyone.
