Application complete...except for letters

Hey everyone,

I sent in my AADSAS application on July 16th, and my DAT scores were uploaded in mid-August, but there were a bunch of delays with my letters and long story short my school's committee letter will not be uploaded to AADSAS until next week.

Recently, I got emails from a few schools I applied to saying that my application is now under review, even though they don't have my letters, instead of my file "waiting for further materials."

My question is, should I email each of these schools saying that the letter will arrive shortly? I'm worried that they will consider it as if I didn't have any letters to submit, like they are impatient because it took so long or something. I know these schools require letters, would they still wait to view my app until the letters are there?

Thanks a lot.

They will wait.

It is always best to pick up the phone and call. Email seems to be the least effective means of communication for some schools. Also, it is always wise to inform each school any future change on your application as soon as possible.
