I'm gonna be shadowing a DO in July, so I won't have my letter of rec until later July probably. Is this fine? Will schools think it's weird because my shadowing/letter didn't come in until right during the application cycle?
It's fine. Just make sure you actually do get the letter in July so you can be complete at the schools you're applying for (letters take some time to write and longer for some writers).
