1) one of my profs is being slower with responding but i still want to go ahead with her. In case she is MIA for much longer can I change my evaluators after I esubmit? the FAQs says you can but have any of you smoothly done this? does it cause a lot of delay if so i might try to just find someone else right now but i'd really rather get her letter. any advice?

2) some of my schools require biochem so i will only take it if they require it and i know i can take it before matriculating so do i need to put this somewhere on my application right now? i already graduted so it's not lik ei have other semesters i'm listing for the future right nwo i just dunno if i need to make a special semester for biochem. advice please?

thank you in advance 🙂

anymore? please at least tell me what you think about the changing evals later? I'd rather just keep that prof for now and if it isn't working out in a week still change it later that way at elast my apps are being processed and i'm not even taking DATs until end of july so the prof still has time but i just want to have the peace of mind knownig that i change delete them and add a new person.


as for biochem, i think i'mjust leaing that blank instead of adding a summer sesion for next summer already or them expecting me to take it in the spring cuz i just want to take it in the summer then.

One of my evaluators erased the email she received from AADSAS with the info she needed on it. I just deleted and reentered her information and she was able to submit my LOR later that same day. It didn't seem to slow things down at all. I don't see how it would be much different if you were changing evaluators. Just delete the one who is MIA and enter the info on your new one and you should be good to go pretty quickly. Hope this helps.

If you are not absolutely positive when/if you are taking biochem I would not enter it. Since whatever you enter in aadsas as planned/in progress the schools expect you to finish these courses. You can always write a letter later saying you are taking such and such course. Just my thoughts, you might want to check with the schools especially the ones that do require biochem.
 
thank you! this is great advice guys! i really appreciate it 🙂

i won't list biochem for now and will change the LOE stuff if I need to after i sumbit and my prof. is still not responding
