When is "early"/LOR question

I am applying this cycle and have seen on here and elsewhere how important it is to make sure that you submit your AADSAS as early as possible. I have one letter writer who told me that he is busy and won't be able to submit letters until possibly after June is over. I know that it varies widely from school to school in terms of when they start reviewing applications, but I just wanted to know when is a good benchmark to have my application in pretty early. (I am applying to UF, and I know that they start sending out interview invites as early as summer)

I've also read that you can submit your AADSAS without all of your letters of evaluation. I am a little confused on this because I'm unsure if that means that schools will then be able to view all other aspects of your application, or if they won't even look at your app until all of the letters are in.

Any guidance on this topic is appreciated. I'm just trying not to freak out because my letter writers are saying that they may not submit until well after the June due date that I gave them when I sent the official LOR request through AADSAS.

Most schools will not look at your application until it complete, this means your letters have to be in. You can submit your application before your letters are in but it will not be considered complete until they are all in.

Typically, early is considered anytime before August.
