Question about LORs

Are Letters of recommendations due with the primary application or with secondary applications? I haven't asked for any yet so I'm wondering if I'm already in trouble or if I've got some time. Thanks for any input

Thanks. Any idea when secondaries are usually sent out and when they are usually submitted? Trying to figure out how long I have to get the LORs. Thanks again.

there is a thread not too far below this one that is literally titled "how quickly are secondaries sent out"

Thanks. I had actually read it already but did not find a clear answer (June? July?)

Late June to July. Most in July.

Is that when they are sent or due? Do you think it's too late for me to ask for LORs now?

Sent out. They aren't due until the application cycle closes, which is 8+ months from now (but you obviously want to turn them in far before that). It's definitely not too late to ask for LORs now. Your letter-writers have at least a month to finish them, which is a comfortable amount of time for most people.
