Getting those LOR's in!

All the people that have applied please help me out on this one! So I plan on getting my AADSAS application in as early as possible, maybe even May 15. BUT I don't think I'm going to have my LORs ready by then. My question is, if I turn my LORs into AADSAS a month later, will it reach the school at the same time or later on? I ask this because I know it takes AADSAS a couple of months to get the application to the school. So if they get the LOR while they're still "processing" my application (before sent out), will they just put it in and everything will reach the school at the same time? Can someone please clarify to me how it actually works when you mail your LOR's to AADSAS after submitting your application?

Also, since AADSAS now only allows 4 LORs, do you guys think thats sufficient? Or should I get more and send them directly to the schools?

Personally I am not going to annoy schools by providing more LORs than asked for. The dental schools obviously talked to AADSAS and came to teh agreement that 4 letters is enough. I am not going to risk annoying the Adcoms by sending in 5 or 6 letters.

AADSAS will send out your application without LORs but the schools wont review it until they receive the LORs. try to make sure the LORs get sent to AADSAS soon after you submit your application.
