PTCAS app processing

I applied for ED and submitted my app a couple days ago. Almost everything has been verified and received (transcripts, test scores, observation hours) except one LOR. I had a feeling my employer would not have time to do the LOR before the deadline, but I have 3 other LORs. In order for my application to be fully processed, will PTCAS wait for my last LOR or will they just process it without the last LOR? I still want to give my employer time to write an LOR in case I have to apply for other schools after finding out the ED decision so I don't want to delete her off of my application, but if it is keeping my app from being processed I'll delete it.

Hmmm that is a good question, I was wondering that myself.

I feel like if you have a 4th unfinished/in progress LOR listed on PTCAS, then PTCAS would hold off on complete processing??? Thats just what I think.

Hopefully someone can answer this question.

PTswagger, I found the answer! "PTCAS will not hold your application for missing references."

I'm in the same situation, except I didn't apply ED. Mine was verified a while back (Friday 8/7), but I don't think it's been mailed yet still, so if that's not because of the missing reference then I'm not really sure why...

How do you know if it has been mailed?

If you log in to the PTCAS mobile portal and go to "PT designations" it will say the mailing status next to each program.
