To get a better understanding of your matching chances it is better to wait, until the upcoming cycle stats are posted on NRMP. But based on past results, I’d say you have a fairly good chance of matching.

You will be having good chances but there are still chances, you will be still time for the match cycle you still need to wait till you get graduate. Also, if you want to apply for match then you need to have recent LORs in your application.

I am graduating in MAY 2020, my last elective ended up in February. so by the NRMP I am good for matching in 2020.
Also the 3 SLOA are recent ( less than a month old).

Getting the LORs before graduation doing electives will always be helpful, it wont be a problem if the LOR is 1 year old as well.
