I am just wondering, I asked my prof to write a LOR and she agreed to finish by end of month (back in July). I want to send a reminder, but Interfolio said that it sent one August the 3rd and I don't want to be annoying, but I also want to start submitting secondaries. Any opinions?
 
Give it a few days. Interfolio reminded her on Saturday and it's now Tuesday. If she hasn't done it by Friday, send her a tactful message inquiring about it and reminding her that the clock is ticking on your application window.
If we added a new letter at this point in the cycle, would that delay or restart review at some schools?
 
One more LOR isn't going to move the needle, unless it was a required one that was missing. That might move the file into the queue.
No, I am complete at all schools and have the required LORs submitted. But I did hear adding another one may move back to the end of the queue.
 
By this I'm assuming you mean it differs from school to school?
Why take chances? One more LOR isn't going to make much of a difference to your chances overall. More is not better; and have mercy, because we Adcom members have to read these things.

Haha don't mean to inconvenience you all! I just think this one letter provides some pretty solid examples of leadership and service which is why I was considering it.
