I was wondering if this is possible..

I submit AADSAS in july, take DAT in july or possibly retake in october, but send in LORs around november-december. Will the adcoms consider my application and set it aside until the letters come? Or will they not even look at it until they see letters???? Oi, why do people have to go on extended vacations!

How many LORs do you not have and are waiting to send in nov/dec.? Because if it's just 1 or 2, I think you're ok. I've heard that most schools will still look at the rest of your application, and if they are interested in you, they will set your stuff aside and wait for your recs. If you're an otherwise competitive applicant, even if you wait on all of your recs, it will probably still be ok. Just keep in mind that most schools start offering interviews in sept/nov. That being said, I would call the schools you're applying to and ask if you can just send them the LORs directly. Who knows how long it will take AADSAS to receive them, verify them, and send copies out to schools. Good luck!
