Hi,

Shoud I send LOR's right away, or wait for secondaries from DO schools to request them with other supplemental material?

The instruction on AACOMAS aren't very clear...

Thanks very much!
 
hey,
actually, what most schools require is the LORs from the recommender themselves. each school has different requirements for letters also, eg, who they want letters to be from. schools will tell you what they need from you, including money, when they give you a secondary. you need to wait with the letters, but make sure your recommenders are writing them. if you are this far already, no point in wasting time waiting for someone to get writin on your behalf. g'luck

No, No, No, No, No.

Do not send any LORs until you have at least received the secondary from that school. Secondly, remember that the schools make you sign a non-disclosure letter saying that you have not seen the reccomendations that you are sending...so make sure your letter writers know this.
