Just do the curriculum, It basically teaches you in the order of LR, LG, RC which I think is on purpose

I've been told not to do that, being in the same situation as you, I plan on just changing it a bit, like 20-30% of it since I also felt particularly satisfied with my PS

I'm using the same LOR though, I have 2 academic ones, so I'm gonna see if one of my current bosses where I work will be willing to make one for me, so that my LOR situation is better than last year
