Can I submit the rec on someone else's behalf? Forum

[tigersaresexy]

My boss left my completed and signed letter of recommendation in my box before leaving on a two week trip. I'm applying ED so I wanted to upload this early next week...but I'm overseas so post is out of the question. Is there any way I can create an LSAC account and upload it through that? Or email LSAC with my predicament?

While there is nothing harmless with what you are proposing, I absolutely would not. Especially since you probably waived the right to read the letter when you added them as a recommender on LSAC. Can you imagine explaining that if it came out? Again, your intentions are not bad but it would not be perceived that way.

2 options: wait it out (of course overnight the letter to LSAC) and see how long it takes them, or bug the professor to upload it.

I really wouldn't open it though.

I'm worried about mailing because the mail is super unreliable out here...has anyone had success in faxing in the letter? I know my boss won't do it on time, he's understandably busy, and I am obviously hesitant about making an LSAC account in his name.

All of my lors were faxed and most were uploaded the same day.

Do NOT do this. Here's what you would have to check off before creating such an account:

Applicant Reference accounts may only be created by persons serving as references for law school applicants. By checking this box, I acknowledge that I have been requested to provide a reference for a law school applicant. To law school applicants: do not create an Applicant Reference account. Should you do so, you may be subject to a charge of misconduct or irregularity.

Call up LSAC and see what they say.
