Hi,

I was wondering if there is any benefit for me to submit LOR's before I get my application verified? I was initally planning to worry about LOR's during verification period since I'll be done with PS writing but not sure...
 
I think the benefit would be not having to worry about them. So the earlier the better.

I emailed all my LOR writers a few days ago and have heard back from 1/4 so far, not loving this feeling lol.

Me too!! They agreed to write me a letter in-person last week but they didn't reply when I sent the interfolio request. Not sure what I should do next..
 
does any know if there is any benefit if I max out all references and submit 6? Will schools read all 6 or no?

Yeah I asked all of them in person as well and have met with them all to discuss myself & what not, along with supplying them with my PS draft and other stuff. Alas i don't really know what to do either! It's quite nerve-racking. I'm just hoping they eventually get back to me, I'd feel bad if I had to spam their inbox.

And OP yes they will read all 6 unless specifically stated that the school accepts less! If all 6 are good then I would definitely submit 6! But if some are from people that you don't think will write great ones I would suggest not including them.

My LoR writer agreed to receive a bi-weekly reminder e-mail from me until he submits. Just send a gentle reminder every two weeks leading up to the due date. I've also heard successful submissions when LoR writers receive a token of appreciation and a reiteration of the applicant's gratefulness for them writing a letter. Seems to ignite a fire for them to get it done in a timely matter.

Don't forget to remind them to sign the letter and have it on letterhead! Good luck y'all.

And for some schools make sure they tell what they taught so it is clear that they meet the requirement for the school
