Members don't see this ad.

I asked a few attendings for LOR, they agreed, and I gave them everything they needed to upload them 2 months ago. No one has uploaded anything yet. I believe I submit the application in July (DO).

Ive been putting it off cause I just feel bad since i know theyre busy and this is just extra crap they dont get anything for...but when should i start bugging them to write and upload one?

I'd keep bugging them about once a week until you get a response. If they are indeed going to write one for you, the more time that goes by, the less they are likely going to remember about you.

Also, I'm DO and I applied in September. Mostly to MD programs, but I did apply to a few DO programs and got interviews at all of them. I don't think July is a deadline, I think it's just opening day.
