Hello,

I have 5 finalized LORs that my school has not uploaded to ERAS yet. I asked them to do so asap, but they probably won't do it for a few hours after ERAS opens tomorrow.
My question is: should I submit my application as soon as it opens tomorrow, without my LORs uploaded to ERAS or should I wait for my LORs to be uploaded?
With my boards scores not being the greatest, I really wanted to submit my application as early as possible...
Thank you for your advice and good luck on the match this year!

i doubt a few hours makes a difference either way. I would wait til the afternoon til all your letters are there personally,

In previous years, it took my off-site internet connection about 6 hours to download the applications that are ready on the 15th. With the usual disconnect, etc. etc, I didn't have all the "first" apps downloaded until the evening of the 15th. The new web-based program will probably mean no more downloading (yay). So, in theory, I'll be running filters at 9:01am tomorrow.

Having said that, yes, I agree that it doesn't much matter if your app is uploaded in time for the 9:01 filter or the 3:55 filter. I would get it up for tomorrow anyway, though. Most programs run their first filters and you want to be in that group.
