Adding an LOR?

So I made it a point to apply very early on in the cycle, but I just recently received an additional LOR.

If I add this letter to my files that are marked as "complete" or "in review," will it send me to the back of the line to be reviewed?

Might be a silly question.... but I'm just trying to make the best decision.

Thanks.

doubt that you'll be sent to the back of the line. but what the heck do i know? best thing to do (when in doubt) is call the admissions office directly. no one on here will know the answer to your question better than them.

1) do you already have 2 LOR's in?
- If yes, then make sure this third is of actual value.

2) do you not have an academic LOR but this one is an academic one?
- If yes then submit it.

Hi,

I am in this same boat. I applied in early November with one academic LOR and one non-academic LOR. This approach did not prevent me from getting into several good schools so far. However, I wish I would have done my research ahead of time and taken note that Yale discourages non-academic LORs. Today I assigned a third LOR to Yale via LSAC -- a letter written by one of my previous professors. I hope it will not be too late to compensate for my previous oversight.

My question is: Will LSAC still send this new LOR even though my application has already been received and complete for 2 months?

Thanks for your help.
