Hi. I have a quick question on the practicalities of LoR submissions. When I submit a request for a LoR on LSAC to my recommender, I understand that she will be receiving an email. But how would she submit the recommendation letter itself, practically speaking?

  • Does she have to type it in on an online form?
  • does she have to scan in a signed letter as a PDF?
  • does she have to upload a Word file, with no signature?
  • should it have the letterhead of the institution she works for?
  • ... hope you get the gist of my question. I'd imagine this would be written down somewhere but couldn't find it. And thought I should know before asking the recommender to write something for me!

    Many thanks in advance.

      To add to this, they can print out the form and mail the letter if they wish to and LSAC will add it to the online file after they receive it.

      It's an embarrassingly long process. The recommender has to:

      Receive an email from LSAC

      Create a LSAC account

      Do various info confirmation

      Attach a word file (not sure about pdf)

      There's an example of format on LSN.
