Hi guys,

Just wondering how long it took for your recommendations to be registered by your schools as received?

My undergraduate said they sent my recs to seven schools on August 26th and not one of the schools has recorded receiving them. Dunno whether to ask my ug school to resend...What do you think?

Thanks for your help! 😀

I send recommendations a long time ago, but some schools do not have them yet. What happens is that until the application is processed the recommendation is not registered. And some schools just take a really long time.
You should probably call them back every two weeks I would say.
