Will schools see my LORs?

I was wondering if I have my LORs sent to AAMC and submitted with the primary application, will AAMC send the LORs with my primary application to schools?

if yes, would schools even look at them before sending out secondaries ( those schools that screen applicants before sending secondaries)?

Good question (I'm assuming youre referring to the schools with the direct-from-AAMC LORs), but I would think no. This is based on the fact that I did not submit my LORs with my initial AMCAS submission and received secondary applications in the last cycle.

Yes, that's what I meant. So there would be no reason to wait for LORs before submitting primary?

No. AMCAS stores the letters so that schools can access them when they need to as part of your secondary application.

They don't actually transmit the letters to the schools until the schools request them.
