LOR processing time? Forum

[osalinas44]

How long does it take to process a faxed LOR? A recommender faxed one in today at around 5:15 pm and I wanted to know if it would be processed tomorrow. Thanks

It should be processed pretty quick. They don't take much time once it's recieved.

All mine have been posted within a day of being faxed in.

and those that are mailed....unpredictable?
is there a range at least?

The time is pretty short. (where processing refers to the act of passing it through a paper shredder)

wait, your professor can fax the letter? I thought the form has to be signed by myself and the teacher...where does it say you can fax the letter to lsac?

They actually say you can't on the website. They used to officially allow it. You would just call them up and they would give you the fax number. However, they accepted and posted the faxed letter I sent them last week. The form has to be signed by you. The letter needs to be signed by your recommender.
