Hi all and hope the match season is going good for everyone here.

I have a small predicament. I sent the LOR's on 5th september and 4 of my 5 LOR's have been uploaded with the 5th one still to be uploaded although I sent them all at the same time !! don't know why that happened and especially because the 5th letter is from a professor and the best one. Anyways, the question is, the letters still haven't been scanned so should I start applying to programs or should I wait for them to be scanned because if the programs download my application then there are no scanned LOR's so what will they get ?

hope to hear soon because this wait is unbearable. good luck to all and may all of us reach our goals. gob bless.

According to their schedule, your LORs might be scanned soon. You can start applying now coz it might take up to 3 days (in reality) for your USMLE transcript to be uploaded. By then your LORs might already be in the PostOffice. So you'll have everything ready around the same time.

It is great that your LOR's sent on the 5th of September have been uploaded, since the ECFMG is still on the 4th, which they reached today morning.

But, I agree with cherryho that you should apply, so that by thetime the transcript and everything is ready, hopefully your LOR will also be uploaded and ready for the programs.
