Letters of Recommendation

So I just spoke with my health professions committee, and the secretary at the office told me that I cannot submit my application without my LORs complete... I thought they can send out my additional ones later. Can someone please clarify?

I was also wondering if this is the same in regard to a committee letter. I have not had my interview for a committee letter yet, so would I have to wait for the interview and for them to write the letter in order to submit? Thanks.

You can submit the AADSAS application without letters completed. As letters are uploaded, they will be sent out in the next mailing if your initial mailing has occurred.

So do I tell my professor to send it directly to ADEA AADSAS instead of my Health Professions Office?
I don't understand why the secretary would give me false information.

When you fill out the application you'll put in either electronic or paper LOR. If electronic you'll input your professor's email and then they'll receive instructions and upload it directly to AADSAS. If paper then you'll print a LOR matching form, give that to your professor, and they'll mail their LOR along with matching form directly to AADSAS. There is no need to have anything sent to your health professions office. They likely wouldn't know what to do with it.

The secretary has no idea what she's talking about. My application is submitted and definitely do not have the LOR's in. However, the information for the evaluators or committee letter need to be put in.

So should I just add the other evaluators to the AADSAS list separately from the Health Professions Office since my professor has not sent it in yet?
Also, I do not know if I am getting a committee letter or not, so would there be any penalty or weirdness if I add them to the list for pending, but I don't receive one?
