Can I e-submit without completed LOE ? Only one out of 4 LOE is completed. I have not chose the fourth recommender. Can I still e-submit and update this LOE later? 😕

I guess you could, but do you have all your bases covered regarding the other letters? (science professors)

 

[sunvalley]

what do you mean by the bases? do you mean two science professors? so far, I have 2 dentists and a science professor. Is this okay?

Most schools have different requirement, however, MOST require 2 science professors so you might want to get that part fixed asap.

Gorrilla is correct.

Most schools want 2-3 science instructor/professor letters: no exception.

Mind you, the instructor/professor letter must come from individuals who personally instructed you.

But its OK to submit the application without all the letters in yet, correct? I also had only one teacher send it yet, and the others were taking too long so I just went ahead and submitted the application. They can still send their letters into aadsas though right?

Thanks guys! So my question is.... I don't have my second science instuctor yet. I emailed one of my professors this wk but I haven't gotten a response. Can I still e-submit now and add him later? or do I have to "designate all four recommenders" before I e-submit?

My other question is... only one of my recommenders uploaded my rec. Can I still e-submit before other recommenders upload LOE?

Yes, you can, but you honestly might want to get this part figured out asap.

I've been emailing mine telling them to HURRY THE **** UP but they're kinda, well....slow so I don't know what else to do.

If you've been literally been telling them to "HURRY THE *BLANK* UP!" that might be a reason for their delay.

Otherwise, I'm sure they'll come through for you 😛

You could always drop by their offices and remind them; this was effective for me 🙄

My ochem professor was being slow, so I did this and then he had it in the next day.

 

[2PacClone23]

Mine are so ****ing slow man. I'm really getting annoyed. I emailed them yesterday and not a single one replied back. WTF?!

Professors are not obligated to write a letter for you. They are doing you a favor. So stop complain and spam their email. Go to their office and talk to them so they will know whom you are.

I do feel you pain so good luck.

Yeah except going to their office is kinda complicated when you're 70 miles away, and out of school

still better than being 2 yrs out and 1000 miles from school waiting on letters

Ouch.

I've got two of my letters finished, and sent in...the one guy I wasn't expecting to be slow (the dentist I worked for) is taking his sweet time. 🙄

 

[2PacClone23]

Yeah but when it's electronic, I expect it to be relatively quick.

This is exactly what I thought. One of my LOE writers took forever! Don't get me wrong, I didn't pressure him to hurry up, but seriously, it takes less than 5 mins to upload the letter...no one is that busy. 👍

I feel ya on this. I'm only 150 miles away, but 5 years out!! My references have been amazing though. I've not been pushy and have simply kept them informed, especially when the status still said "In Progress."

 

[donovandon]

So i am a bit confused. I can E submit my applications w/o all the LOE submitted but the professors still are able to submit the LOE after i have already E submitted the applications?

I'm 80% sure you can. Anyone else can confirm?
