LOR Question

Post by Anonymous User » Fri Mar 07, 2014 12:28 pm

The employer I interned with during my 1L summer has given me a wonderful LOR. He has signed all the ones I need for paper apps and then he gave me an electronic version for the OSCAR apps. He wants me to upload it all so that he doesn't have to deal with it. Is this legit? I mean, is there any way to tell that the link is being sent to my email to upload the letter? I don't want it to look like I'm uploading some fraudulent LOR. His email and phone number are on the LOR, he just doesn't want to be bothered with the uploading of the materials. Anyone else deal with this before?

Yes, it's not unheard of at all. Not sure what the judge and the clerks can see but I don't think they will assume fraud if you upload the LOR.
