Would it be too late to do an ophtho elective in august? it seems to be cutting it close with LORs, and late to be starting research, but i'm afraid i may get stuck with it then. thanks.

I think august is really late for your first ophthalmology elective. You need time to develop relationships with faculty mentors and to obtain good LORs.
