Question about LORs

Ron Swanson

Quick question,

I had originally planned to apply to law schools for the current admissions cycle but decided to take a year off and retake the LSAT June 2016. I had 2 Professors lined up to write me letters of rec. One of them finished their letter and submitted it to LSAC before I decided to postpone my law school apps. I gave the other professor a heads up and she is going to hold off on writing until I decide to apply.

My question is: Will it matter/look weird that one of my letters was written about a year before the other? Will I have to write some kind of addendum explaining that I postponed my decision to apply?

Aidoe

Fairly certain it makes little to no difference.

yeah don't worry about it, it happens all the time, schools dont expect you to have a professor rewrite one a year later knowing it wouldnt really be different. As long as you have them and they aren't like 2-3 years old, no one will care

You're good and now you're ahead of the game.
