    I recently finished a summer course, and depending on the grade I receive, I will ask for a LOR from the professor,

    The only thing is grades won't be available until Aug 19th.

    Is it possible for me to submit my primary app with 2 LORs and send the 3rd one in once it is available after the primary app has already been submitted?

    much thanks for the help

    you don't need LORs for your primary app... you would need them when you are completing your secondary apps.

    but what about the Evaluation section of the primary application? Can I just leave that blank if I'm not submitting LORs with the primary.

    Thanks for the prompt response. So if I submit LORs with secondaries, which system do I use? Can I request the LORs through the AACOMAS system or do I have to provide my references with each school's address?

    If you have your LOR's sent to your AACOMAS, then ALL those letters would be sent to EVERY school that you send your primary to. If you don't want that to happen, that is, if you want specific letters to go to a specific school then use Interfolio or Virtual Evals.
