Does a letter of rec sent electronically immediately show?

My professor emailed me a few hours ago saying she submitted my general and school-specific letter electronically.

My school-specific one showed up immediately as "received" on LSAC, but the general one isn't showing up at all. In fact, I'm still getting the alert that the letter of rec hasn't been acknowledged.

Basically, does anyone know how long it takes for a letter of rec to be marked as "received" if it's uploaded electronically?

Thanks for any input.

I was wondering the same thing. It says under "Completing Your CAS File" that electronic letters are posted immediately; however, I had one that didn't post until 4am after my professor submitted it and I highly doubt he was awake that early. It should go through soon!

You should get the alert the next morning after it has been uploaded. If it is not listed as an option to select when you click "Assign" for your school, call LSAC.
