So i was not planning on applying anytime this year, but I really want to collect my LOR's and was planning on using a letter service such as interfolio.com. I am concerned on part one of the optomcas of where they send an email where they do a checklist of my attributes, is there a way I can get this to my recommenders now, or can it only be sent when I decide to apply?


Or can I start an application and will it save the entire LOR section?

I just don't know if I will be able to ask my Recommenders if they can do another part of the application a year from now. I would rather not bug them so much.

You can't start an OptomCAS account now for anything but the active season, so unfortunately you will not be able to start the LOR section until you're ready to apply.

I don't recommend using a letter writing service, I'm not even sure OptomCAS will accept anything from them. They want letters from your LOR writers on official letter head and all that (if it's snail mail) or pasted into a textbox online along with your rating of attributes. You really just have to wait until the season opens for your app. cycle to start this stuff. Sucks, I know. But you can still let your letter writers know that you'll be coming around one of these days for a letter!
