Weird dates?

[Guest]

Of course not all schools use the same calendar for Sub-Is, anything to make life easier right?

Harvard has some weird dates, don't line up with VSAS at all.

If I did a Sub-I in August that ends on Sept 15, can I get my letter from that place in on time?

Follow up question. Everyone says to get ERAS in on the first day. The website says you can start applying on ERAS on Sept 6, and programs receive your application on Sept 15. So which is considered the "first day"?

Has anyone been in a situation where you have to ask for a letter 2/3 of your way into your SubI?

sept 15 is first day as far as programs is concerned, they can't tell whether you loaded Sept 6 or the 14th, and they don't care anyway.

Yes, it is common to have to ask for a letter part way through, many people are still on Key sub-Is in September

Not having three/four letters of rec is not a reason to wait to submit app if it is otherwise ready on sept 15
