Letters of recommendation though LSAC?

I understand that each school has a schedule of when they get new recommendations sent to them through the LSAC service, but I don't know each schools schedules.
Do they all get any final recommendations sent to them on their application deadline regardless of their schedule?

I had my last recommendation sent in last week, LSAC received it on the 4th, but I am worried that it wont get sent to all of my schools by the 1st.

Should I have my recommender send specific recommendations to each school?



Thanks!

I was able to get a woman at LSAC to tell me that CLS asks for updates every Tuesday and that Harvard gets them instantaneously. The issue is the 2 weeks it takes for the LOR to even show up in LSAC's system. But you might just try calling and asking about specific schools' schedules. I was also told by both of those schools that LSAC is the preferred method for additional LOR's, but that they could mail it in separately is needed.
