getting late in the cycle?
Posted: Mon Nov 01, 2010 2:04 am
Hey all,
I'm applying this cycle and I am wrapping up with my personal statement. When I talked to my professors who will be writing my recommendations, I told them to send them in before Nov 1st, figuring that since my score wouldn't be available till then anyways it wouldn't matter. One sent hers in a few days ago and the other is sending his tomorrow via snail mail.
Having read now that LSAC may take a few weeks to process recommendations in some cases, will my applications be significantly hurt by waiting until mid November to submit my apps? Or is pre-Thanksgiving pretty much early? I heard that sending by fax is much faster, so should I ask my profs to fax them instead? Thanks in advance for any help!
Helpful info: 3.74 GPA, 171 june lsat and 177 october. Aiming specifically for CCN and Penn, and entertaining vague hopes for HYS.
