At my university, my pre-health community's committee letter will be late. I would ideally like to submit my AMCAS on June 1st in order to be verified in time. Realistically my university may not submit its applicants committee letters until perhaps as late as August.
I was wondering, is there a way to submit my AMCAS on June 1st, without a committee letter, and later say in August or September when my committee letter is completed, send in an update? Could I submit my AMCAS on June 1st using individual letters using interfolio, and later update with a committee letter?
I would want to use my school's committee letter because I know when you don't use a committee letter, the first question is "did your school have a committee?" and the second question is "why didn't you pursue a committee letter?"
Are there any unforeseen negatives to the above method, if it is a valid method for side stepping a late premedical committee? My premedical committee generally sends their committee letter in with a packet of individual letters; I also don't know how kindly they would take to me saying I submitted my letters individually and only require the committee letter.
Has anybody been able to submit AMCAS early with a late committee letter and wish to share their experiences?
