what is the process to have them write a letter? Do I have to send them something, or do they just write and email it to me?

Option 1: Use Interfolio if you want to get the letter now. That allows you to collect confidential letters and they’ll submit it to AADSAS for you come May. There’s a fee but it’s not terrible and was worth the peace of mind for me having the letters in advance.

Option 2: Once AADSAS opens up, add them as a letter writer and they’ll receive an email with instructions on how to submit the letter.

You can’t upload a copy of the letter. Not saying you will, but then what would stop another applicant from forging a letter?

Refer to your other thread: LOR tips

Please refrain from asking the same question multiple times.

I would send a follow up thanking them and an email saying: when you need it done, a draft of your personal statement, your resume, and anything additional you think is needed.

Also would highly recommend making an inter folio.

Have them upload it to interfolio that way you have the letter at your disposal for any use, now or future.

what do you mean when AADSAS opens up?
I plan on taking my DAT this June and applying right after for next fall and I already started to my AADSAS application such as experience, manual dexterity, and that stuff. Is it to early for me to do this?

I don’t think your application information will be available next year. It does for re-applicants (so people who submitted an app) but not sure for those who merely created an account and added information.

You can fill everything out on the AADSAS app right now and the info will transfer over to the next cycle, excluding LORs. It worked for me going into this cycle
