Hi All, question for anyone who has submitted already: can I submit my application and continue to the video essay portion or schedule an interview without my recommendations being complete? I know the application wont be complete without the recs, but I'm wondering how much I can get done myself before my recommenders send them in.
Not sure about the video essay portion. I think the link only appears once the rest of your application is complete but it could be that "rest of your application" includes the parts in your control. I didn't hit submit before my recs were in so I can't say for certain.
You won't get the email inviting you to schedule an interview until after your round's deadline once your application has been reviewed. For example, R1 interview invites went out ~4-6 weeks after the R1 deadline.
