When do you send in DO recs? at the same time as your primary app? or do you wait till you get the supplemental then mail them together. I know that some schools have specific forms for the Doctor to fill out, but I dont want to overload him with like 12 different LOR forms. do majority of the schools accept a generic LOR?
 
Letters of recommendation are sent in with the secondary application.

You will submit it when the school asks, which is with the secondary application. I would have your letter writer make a general letter for Interfolio, and pass along any other specific ones when the times comes. You can look up each school's requirements on their websites.
