Hi everyone!
So I'm planning on applying to enter medical school in 2022. I'm finishing undergrad now (class of 2020) and am trying to plan out my app cycle.
If I am asking several professors for LORs but I'll be out of school for a year by the time I actually need them for my application, when should I ask the professors for LORs?
2/3 of them have already said they are willing to write me a letter, I just don't know when to officially request one. Should I have them write the letters now while my experience with them is more fresh in their minds (and then ask them to submit to AMCAS during my actual app cycle)? My school doesn't have a great premed community so I'm unsure on what the typical steps are for premeds taking gap years.
Thanks in advance for your help.
