Dr Kafoutchoni’s reading
The key word here is « automatically »: the two letters are triggered through the system, but the application only counts if they are actually received before the deadline. So the real issue is not just clicking at the right time, but securing responsive referees and a scientific file that matches the two selected labs. If your transcripts are not already in Catalan, Spanish, or English, prepare the translation before opening the submission to avoid an unnecessary blockage. Secure the two letters, then submit a focused application built around the labs that fit your profile best.
