Hi 7Sagers! I'm hoping someone can help me with a question I have about letters of recommendation/application process and timing. I will be applying next cycle (sending in apps Fall 2018) and have already graduated university (May 2016). I sent emails out to a few professors asking for LORs this week, given how busy they are. If they were to write LORs before the current application cycle ends, would they be able to file them in CAS/LSAC for next cycle? My fear is that they'll file the LOR, and then the LOR will be deleted once the new cycle "rolls over." I don't have much knowledge of the application process in general, so I apologize if this question has a straightforward answer/is nonsensical! :) Thanks for your help.

    As long as you're a US student you're fine. I remember a few years ago people saying the Canadian app system required LORs each year, but I'm not sure if that's still the case

    This. Also, I’m 99% sure that if they wanted to update something (like the date), they can even edit their letters. I think letters are good for 5 years
