Anyone's full list of LoRs still not uploaded to the ERAS Post Office?

Just wondering.

It depends when you asked your writer for the letter. If you just asked last week it'll take him/her some time to write the letter and them submit it (though you should give a timeline to them...). If you asked months ago I'd contact that writer asap.

4th letter isn't in for many of my programs, still waiting for letter from away rotation. Hopefully it'll come in soon.

I have one that still hasn't showed up. I asked for it back in February and sent a few friendly reminders over the summer. I wish he'd just told me that he wasn't going to do it...

My 4th letter was *just* submitted. What are the chances it will even be read, since my application has been "complete" and MSPEs were uploaded two days ago?

We'll read it.

We'll read it.

How are LORs that are uploaded later then the rest of the app treated?

Does the program coordinator print out the LOR and set it to review for the committee everyday (based on newly available one)? I'd imagine everyday they would have tons of LOR's since they are continuously updated for many people.

It's an impossible question to answer, since every program will do things differently.

If your application currently doesn't have enough letters uploaded to be considered "complete" (as defined by each program, please don't ask what complete means), and you add more letters, your application might meet the definition of complete, and hence be reviewed by the program.

If your application has been reviewed and you've been invited for an interview, chances are the letter will be reviewed when your file is reviewed again prior / immediately after your interview.

If your application has been reviewed and rejected, the letter will not likely be reviewed at all.

If your application has been reviewed and is "waiting for more letters", then clearly when those letters come in, it will be reviewed.

if the program fills all of it's interview spots, then they may stop reviewing applications altogether.

Some programs will print / review all incoming paperwork, some will review electronically using filters.

Too many variables, no way to be certain.

Awesome response! I think it covers most of the scenarios well.

Thank you!
