I received an email from VirtualEvals on 8/27 saying that the pre-health committee at my school had submitted my LOR's and they are now available to the schools. Only 1 of the 19 schools that I have applied to has processed them. Did it take this long for everyone else? I know that there was a holiday, but it has also been two whole weeks. All my secondaries are in so I am just freaking out cause that is holding them back from being reviewed!

I think some schools can take up to 2 weeks. I sent mine by interfolio a week ago, and some schools haven't processed them.
 
In case anyone was wondering... My pre-health committee reversed my name in the VirtualEvals system so my first was my last and my last was my first. I am pretty bummed that I was set back two weeks for such a silly error :/

Be glad their mistake was minor and easily fixed. I know people that were prematurely rejected from a ton of schools due to an error made by their school's registrar and pre-med committee.
