Hi,

My aacomas application should be verified very shortly. I am wondering if it is ok to have my referees prepare me reference letters now, so I can send them out as soon as the secondaries arrive? The reference letter doesn't need to be school specific right? I can request a general reference letter from my referee?

Thank you,
Raymond
 
Absolutely. Use a letter service such as interfolio and from there it's a simple submission to whichever schools you choose.
