Okay, this may seem like a dumb question, but I'm not too sure. For LOR, when do you ask for them? Would I ask my Prof, during/after the course, or wait until applying to med school. What about LOR outside of school, is it the same deal?
 
i asked for them as i was completing the writers' courses. rationale being that their impressions of you are still fresh in the writers' minds.

it's ok to have a portfolio with letters in it that are a couple years old by the time you apply. it's a good idea to have at least one recent one though, IMO.
 
I figured having them being written while completing courses was the way to go. I was just unsure if it mattered how old they are. Thanks for clearing that up 👍
