LSAC LOR Service: For how long are rec letters active? Forum

[mchelle]

Hi, just a quick question...I already asked two professors to complete LORs via the LSAC service and they should be finished with the forms by mid-September.

However, due to personal reasons, I am thinking about postponing my application until next fall (2014 cycle). Would my rec letters still be valid then? If they will be valid, would they be incompatible with the rest of my application because the LORs were completed this fall?

Thank you!!

Not sure how active they stay, but a one year difference is fine. It's definitely not only active for a year. I had one in two years ago and am applying this fall, and it still shows up in my account.
