I've asked one of my organic chem lab instructors to write me a LoR for this upcoming application cycle. Unfortunately, I was a little late in asking him and he told me that he won't be able to finish it until the second week of July. Would a late LoR hinder my application process if I plan to submit my application around the time it opens up (DAT scores will be in when I take it July 6th)? I really would like him to write my LoR for me but if it means making me a late applicant then I might want to consider asking someone else for one.
 
Bump.

I am in the same situation... Do our LORs have to be submitted before e-submitting the application

EDIT:

This should answer the question:


LORs:
Missing LORs do NOT hold up mailing of your application from AADSAS to different schools. AADSAS will mail the missing LORs when they receive them. Only the schools themselves won't consider your application complete until they receive all of them.

AADSAS 2008 has implemented a new Letter of Evaluation (LOE) process that provides the option for each individual to submit a Letter of Evaluation as either an online electronic document or as a paper letter that is mailed to AADSAS. Applicants may submit a maximum of four individual Letters of Evaluation or one Committee Letter/Report plus the option of one additional individual Letter of Evaluation.

Your LORs do not have to be complete before you submit your AADSAS application.

However, I hear that some schools will overlook your application if some requirements are missing. The schools will then wait for your extra requirements by setting your application aside.

When your LORs come in, then admissions will look at your application.
