Sending LORs before 2ndary is complete?

Do you think it's cool to send LORs before the 2ndary is completed. My school is so far away and I haven't finished a lot of my 2ndaries, but I'd like to get the letter part out of the way and my packet of letters is ready to go.... any thoughts?

I get nervous about special instructions too.. our school has a file service.. so I'm pretty sure most schools have no special requirements for those.. but all the same, I'm calling each school up and asking if there is anything else they need me to include.

I did that and everyone has been getting them without a problem. The schools will create a file for you when they get your AMCAS application, so there is nothing to worry about. You may have one or two that get misplaced, but that may happen regardless.

It depends on the school. I know that Miami and I think UF will just throw them away without looking at them if LORs arrive before the secondary app. If you're going to send them everywhere at once, make sure you really stay on top of every school to make sure they've received everything properly.

If I have a letter writing service from my school that does the confidentiality waiver, are there any schools that will have crazy instructions on how to send LORs in. I'm sendin in 24 packets at once and I'm a little weary on the individual instructions from each school.
