Can I apply without LORs - map - ArchivalUser - 09-08-2006

Hi,
My personal statement and CAF is ready, but LORs are still to be uploaded. ERAS received it only Sept 6th. So Iam confused whether I should wait 10 days and then apply with complete application packet or should I just go ahead and apply with just my CAF and personal statement. Any input will be appreciated

Thanks

I think you can apply now. your lors will be uploaded as soon as they get scanned.
dont expect 10 days, they say 10 business days, which boils down to 2 weeks ie 14 days.

Thanks xtrayard, does an incomplete appplication reduce chances of getting interviews

no it should not reduce the chances as most programs will wait for appli to be complete. Well thats not a rule,, but thats how it should be.
Anyway applying now is better to wait for 2 more weeks. that might hurt ur chances of getting an interview.
