Application submission date/LOR/Transcript question

I'm applying to IM categorical.

I am still waiting for one of my LOR's and chairman's letter sometime in Sep. Also, I don't want to submit my transcript before my Aug. clerkship grade is in. So, would be there any point in submitting ERAS tomorrow before these things are in? Also, is submission tomorrow vs. two weeks later a huge deal?

I appreciate any responses.

There is no difference between applying now or by Oct 31st, unless you want to interview in November (where obviously applying before the end of October would be necessary).

I wouldn't worry about whether your application is "complete". That's the magic of ERAS. Some programs might offer you an interview without all the pieces in. MSPE's are not released until Nov 1st, and we start offering interviews before then.
