« on: September 29, 2004, 10:25:14 AM »
So W&L requested my report, but it says its on hold "Pending receipt of letter(s) of recommendation"

So whats the point in applying now?

My LORs aren't even written yet, but I'm applying just to get it out of the way.

That's good -- I'm now on day #24 since one of my letters was mailed. I think I'll get him to fax it as well, just in case.

I dont think its a coincidence that a school requested my report and then BAM the LOR was there...I think they must expedite LORs when reports are waiting (happened to lexy too i think)

it was so hard to finally get my prof to send the letter out that i am dreading having to ask him to fax it as well, and then what if I have to wait another 3 weeks after that???!!! this is so frustrating!

I've applied to a bunch of schools since mid-September and no progress yet.

I thought things would go faster after I bitched at them a few days ago -- one of my letters showed up right away. But it could've been due to a backup copy of the letter being faxed a week before it appeared on LSAC.

I am still waiting on one that was sent the first week of September. Maybe since I have the W&L report on hold as well, they'll speed things up.

Wow, that is crazy. I had about a one week wait time from sending the letter to it showing up on LSAC. I would not tolerate a 20 day wait. I would call LSAC. They were very helpful when this kind of thing happened with my transcripts. The person I spoke to gave me their contact info, so I was able to mail it direct to him and then it was taken care of within 2 days.

Definitely call LSAC and see what the hell is taking so long.
