Can I submit apps before all LORs are submitted?

[cupidcello]

Hello to all,

I'm at the point in the application process where I'm content with everything on my end, and I'm ready to submit my applications.

However, I have 4 LOR writers, and 2 have submitted.  I expect a 3rd to submit one soon, and the 4th confirmed that they will submit soon as well.  They all have been made aware of my deadlines.

I would like to submit my applications though, especially with the (USA) holidays approaching quickly.  Am I allowed to do this, even though I'm waiting on 2 LOR writers?

(Note: All schools I'm applying to already accept LORs, and applications have deadline of December 1st.  I do not need to submit my applications first in order for my LOR writers to submit anything.  For each program I'm applying to, only 3 LORs are required--any more LORs are optional.)

Thank you, and I'm definitely sorry if this has been asked already.

Yes. I can't think of a single school which requires letter of recommendations to be in before you could submit your application.
