just wondering if programs will review your app and offer interviews before all your LORs are in (excluding dean's letter which doesn't go out until 11/1 anyway). i'm trying to figure out how much i need to hassle my letter writers to get them finished up in early september, or whether we can give them a longer leash?
Without being too obtrusive to the letter writer's administrative coordinator - the earlier the better. There are more than a handful of programs that will review your application and offer interviews prior to the Dean's Letter arrival on Nov 1, 2008. Therefore, it is in your best interest to have as much of your application complete as soon as possible (including personal statement, letters of recommendation, etc...)
