I would like to know whether it is necessary to apply for a california letter (sorry that I forgot the new name for that), and whether it is too late to apply for one?

Thanks for your input.

I guess I may end up not applying for it since it is time-consuming, complicated and expensive. Anyway, thanks for your time and answers.

to njcjzy: you probably can get it even faster than in 3 mo if somebody will personally go to your med school and ask to fill all those forms and really fast send it to you so than you can proceed.
