So I made the dumb mistake of waiting until literally the last minute of the 2-week deadline to submit the JABSOM- hawaii secondary. on the last part of the secondary, i did not have time to type out all of my letter writers names/organizations for the letter writer audit form to track letters, so I only typed out the 2 required ones. Do you think I will need to email them my remaining 4 letter writers information or should follow up somehow? for reference, I submitted 6 letters in total directly from AMCAS to them. Thank you!

I believe it was a 2 week deadline. I'd email them and let them know, from my experience they are very responsive

Thanks for the response, I meant to type end of the 2-week deadline! So you recommend that I just email them with my remaining 4 letter write info?

I'd email asking if it's okay to do so first
