My last pending LOR is from a professor. Anyone know if this will hold up my entire application or will they mail it later? I'm concerned that I might miss the next AADSAS mailing. Thanks for any input.
 
AADSAS doesn't wait for your LOR's to send your application out. Once your professor gets the letter in, they will send it with the next mailing. One of my professors hasn't sent a letter for me yet and my application was mailed out at the beginning of July.

while AADSAS will still send the printout without your last LOR, the schools themselves wont look at your application until it is considered fully complete. I had this problem last year as my final teacher finished his LOR in january leaving me no chance at admission. So i would suggest you get on his case to finsh it, and if it takes too long find someone else.
