So I've been reading that apparently people have letters that they have sort of on hold, and that they are waiting to submit to med schools later on in the cycle. I'm guessing the rationale behind this is that it gives you something to update med schools with several weeks or months after you submit your apps. I guess this is basically sort of a reminder that you exist and maybe some icing on the cake.
I have an extra letter that I am planning on submitting to med schools. My question is, should I submit it now just to let med schools know about it right away (apparently he rights really awesome recs)? Or should I have the recommendation sit for a little while and wait to submit for the above reasons? I should note that this is an "optional" rec in the sense that I already have a committee letter being sent out, fulfilling all the med school requirements, so this one is extra. Thanks!
