I only have 1 SLOE as of now and wont be getting 2nd sloe until towards end of October but have other non em strong LORs ie IM, Surgery etc. ,
Is it recommended for me to submit a non-em letter in meanwhile until 2nd sloe comes in (end of October)?
Thanks!

I wouldn't. If you have an EM related non-SLOE LOR (ultrasound rotation, EMS, EM research, etc...) that would be something and could help if someone considers you a borderline candidate. Most programs won't require 2 SLOEs to give you an interview, even if they want to see 2 when they rank you for Match Day.

I disagree. More and more programs are requiring two SLOEs for an invite unless EMRA is lying to us. It's still not a majority, but it's not an insignificant amount like it used to be.
