Hey guys! US MD applying to peds. So I asked multiple attendings earlier in the summer for strong LORs, and they all agreed. However, so far only one has uploaded a letter. One has been pretty responsive with emails and says he's working on it, so I plan to remind him once September hits. One is probably going to be more of a research letter than a clinical letter since unfortunately the rotation I ended up doing with him is more shadowing than anything else.
However, the one that I'm starting to get worried about is one from my sub-I. The attending gave me very strong evals, seemed pretty enthusiastic about writing a letter, and has been so helpful and met with me to edit my personal statement and school list. So I hadn't been worried about this letter, but I sent a reminder/CV update email last week and haven't heard back. Should I consider trying to last minute scramble for another letter from someone else, or is it too early to be freaking out? Unfortunately the people I could consider asking are from earlier in M3, so I think they might be fairly generic since it's been a while. I'm worried about not having 3 letters come Sept 29, since I heard it can take a few days after uploading for letters to become available?
