Application timeline nuance

This should be a relatively easy question for someone to answer, but I can't find a definitive answer online. Knowing that schools probably won't look at your application until they receive your LORs and transcripts (along with matching forms), it seems to make sense not to click "submit" until those documents have been received by AADSAS. My question is, can you see if transcripts and LORs have been received by AADSAS before clicking "submit"?

Yes, you will see if they have been submitted before submitting your app.

Yeah, AADSAS will update when either of those are uploaded.

No, you should submit as early as possible. LOR and transcript can be taken care of on the side. Clicking "submit" is like clocking in. A lot of schools put applicants in order. The earlier you submit, the earlier they look at your application. Just check in frequently to see if your LORs and transcripts are in. Those may take 2 weeks or more.

As has been said, you do see the info but you should not wait. ESPECIALLY if your transcripts arrive before your LORs (transcript matching can take a while).
