Target date for letters

Assuming I am able to submit my AMCAS application in June, when should I hope to have my letters of rec completed by?

Just wondering because I think it might help my letter writers if I can show them my PS and this semesters grades, etc rather than ask them before I have these things available. Thanks!

I asked five letter writers in April and asked that they have them done by June and it took two until August.

I'd be careful with this. Letters are the one thing out of your hands. You really don't want to be ready to go and send in secondaries in July and not have the letters you need.
