Applying Before LORs Come In

[RParadela]

Hey guys, just a quick question. I'm finished with my applications and ready to go ahead and submit them, but I'm waiting on my LORs to be finished by my professors. I've been told that they will have them finished in the next couples of weeks, but I'd still like to apply as early as possible. Is it a good/bad idea to go ahead and apply now and have LSAC update my application as my LORs come through?

PS: I took the December LSAT so I won't have that score released til January 4th

Depends on how many LORs your law schools require. Some schools will mark your application complete and begin reviewing without waiting for any LORs (or after getting 1 LOR without waiting for the 2nd, etc.).
