to post? They were both mailed last Monday and as soon as LSAC posts them I will be able to complete my applications.
Thanks for the help, I'm getting really nervous.

Ask your recommender to fax.

I guess it's like rush hour during this time of year.

That's bizarre. I had one faxed on Friday (evening) and it was processed and sent to the school by this morning. If it's been 2 weeks, it sounds like something is up. Sure you have the fax number right? It is: (215) 504-1444. Good luck!

it takes awhile for them to process the faxes. Mine showed up after 15 days right around the time of the October LSAT

I can ask them to fax it in even if was already mailed? I really hope to get these applications in soon...should I start them and do everything except for the LoR? Thanks a ton for the help guys.

I'm in your boat. I have one letter left to process, faxed last Friday. I've been obsessively refreshing the lsac site waiting for it to come up so that I can finally submit.
Fwiw, I had my first one faxed two Fridays ago and it processed the next Monday morning.
I've been mentally pleading with lsac all day.

I had one mailed in last Tuesday, processed Saturday (weird?). One mailed last Wednesday, has yet to process. Waiting for that letter to process to submit.

In sum, there is no rhyme or reason to LSAC LOR processing times.

Yes. Recommenders can fax and snail-mail LoRs. LSAC will process whichever one they get to first.

You can also call them and ask if they've gotten it--if you faxed it and it didn't come through properly, they can tell you if you call. I called LSAC today and they said letters take 4-6 days to process once they are faxed in.
My mailed letters each took 1 week to process. One faxed LOR got posted the same day, and the other has taken 5 days and hasn't popped up yet.
