Premed: sooo I'm officially freaking out about LORs. I know late LORs won't hurt my application's chances of being processed in time...but how does that work? I'm especially nervous because I want an LOR from a professor I'm taking this quarter and by the time I even finish the class, it'll be the second week of June.
Andy: my understanding is that you can add a letter at ANY time in AMCAS, have it sent to AMCAS, and AMCAS will distribute it.
You may want to shoot an email to each school letting them know to expect another letter just in case. They should be updating your file continuously (they will want your current contact info, and often people change their addresses mid cycle) but they may not always do it in a timely manner.
though this page might answer your question better
