BeHappy Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Quick question: Do I wait for CASPA to open (in mid April) to ask for LORs - this way I can print and give them specific instructions, etc.... Or do I ask for it now and ask to upload it when CASPA opens? Thanks a bunch :))) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teacher2PAC Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Definitely ask now so that the letter is written and you can just have your recommenders submit them as soon as possible once the application is open. Early is always better than later! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ddisilvestro Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 You can ask them to draft a letter now, the cycle open in less than a month and as soon as you begin your application and enter your letter author's information, they will receive an email invite. This year, they only have the option to upload their letter vs. typing it in or copy & pasting it, so it makes it much easier to do it ahead of time and they can simply upload the letter. In addition to the letter, they will be required to complete a rubric. Best of luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annbrd Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 If I'm going to take summer courses and want to complete prerequisites can I start my application and have my References upload their recommendation letters right as CASPA opens ? I'm afraid waiting any longer will cause my LOR to forget about the letters or if something happens and unable to reach them due to job change or something In a few months ?

AliB Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Check the newly posted FAQs for the revised CASPA, but in past cycles, Yes, your references can be designated and upload the LORs as soon as you set up your account and specify them ... Well before you actually complete & submit your application. I didn't submit mine until I had confirmation that the LORs were complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
