Submitting application with unentered items

I was under the impression that all letters of recommendation, verified hours, and gre scores needed to be inputted before submitting your application. However, I got an email from Loma Linda stating "Applicants in our Priority group will be the first ones to have their application evaluated and reviewed. They will also be the ones we look at first to fill our class. You DO NOT have to have your transcripts, letters of recommendation, or observation hours in to be able to submit your application. You will, however, need to have your transcripts in for your application to be verified and sent out to the Universities you are applying to".

Is it beneficial to submit with items in progress? Has anyone else done this? I'm waiting on official GRE test results, finalizing my inpatient hours, and my professors are currently writing my letters of rec, so my application would literally be empty for a few weeks. Thanks for any help! 🙂

Just follow their instructions. Submit your application ASAP. It's ok if you have only your transcripts there. If you can manage the entire package, that would be great of course.
Does Loma Linda require GRE? They did not before, so if they still do not, your GRE does not matter.
I submitted everything at the very 1st day and got my interview at the very 1st day of the interviews, and I found out about my acceptance I want to say sometime in Dec.

Make sure you enter all the information in so that it can be pending. Then submit and ptcas with send you updates as all your elements get accepted. I submitted once I sent out my requests for LOR and observation hours and while waiting on my grades and scores to be sent over. No need to wait on mail or other people! Just fill out everything so it can be submitted later.
