Hey all,
I'm gearing up to apply for the upcoming cycle and I have a question regarding the timeline of LORs and the impact, if any, on my application evaluation/interview. I looked at some old threads but couldn't find a definitive or really comprehensive answer. (If one already exists, kindly direct me.) Anyway, I want to apply as early as possible but I just recently started shadowing a pod and I want the letter to be as strong as possible, which obviously should correlate with how long I'm shadowing him. Will the adcoms grant me an interview and/or make a decision if my LORs aren't in yet? I've read that they are a formality but I still want to have the strongest app since I am a nontrad. Thanks!
