I apologize if this has been asked before, but I couldn't find a good answer in past threads.
As of now, I only have 2 LORs uploaded to ERAS and visible to programs. I've requested 4 LORs total (all from the field I'm applying to) and asked for them this past July/August. I've held off emailing my letter writers because I know they're super busy and I was trusting that my home institution would hound them for me to get the job done (my home institution tells us NOT to harass our LOR writers and to let them do it for us).
Now it's October and I'm starting to get pretty worried since I'm applying to a very competitive field and am missing half of my LORs. Is now the time to start bugging them or should I wait it out a little longer?
