Before submitting my application

[msee]

Hi!

I am trying to get LORs from 3 professors, but I am wondering whether I need to submit my applications.

I searched websites and many of universities are sending "how to proceed an online LOR" or similar emails automatically right after I enter their email addresses ( + etc information) and save.

Does it mean professors can send(write) their LORs whenever they get this email? Also, if true, that means I don't have to submit my online application for LORs, right?

Thank you for answers!

That's right...with the ApplyWeb system, which many schools operate these days, your LOR requests get sent as soon as you "save" your recommender's details. However, one of the schools I'm applying to doesn't submit anything to the LOR writers until you submit the application, but if that's the case they usually make it obvious.
