Interview Invite without LOR

Hello all

Are there any schools that require LOR before the interview and not with the secondary? Besides LECOM and NSU. I'm still waiting on my physician letter and he's insisting on mailing it into Interfolio instead of uploading it online 🙁

Just trying to gauge any secondaries that I should work out and submit before the others.

I'd really be surprised if any school gave an interview invite without having a complete application, including all letters of recommendation. If you're asking if you can send in letters after the secondary but before the interview, then yes, those can be sent in separately.

You can send in LORs whenever you want. They don't need to be sent in with the secondaries. Some places (ATSU) ask for information about who will be sending in LORS and then update the secondary portal once they get them.

I got an invite to NSU before they got any of my letters, but they do require you have the letters in before the interview actually occurs.

I still don't have my non-science letter in and I'm accepted with a full deposit paid. They called me recently and asked me to get it in by next month. I think they're pretty laid back about the LORs.

However, I didn't hear anything from them until I got my physician letter in. Two science letters and nothing, then got the ii like a day or two after the DO letter was received.
