How can students check whether recommendation letters have been received?

Great question! The process for checking whether recommendation letters (LORs) have been received depends on the application system and the university to which you’re applying. Here’s a general guide:

1. Application Portals (e.g., Common App, UCAS, university-specific portals)

- Most universities provide an applicant portal after you submit your application. Log in to this portal using your credentials.
- Look for a section called “Application Checklist,” “Supporting Documents,” or “Recommendations.”
- Here, you will typically see the status of each recommender (e.g., “Requested,” “Submitted,” or “Received”).

2. Automatic Notifications

- Many application systems send you an email notification when a recommender submits a letter.
- If you have not received a notification, check your spam/junk folder.

3. Direct Contact

- If you cannot see the status online, you may contact the university’s admissions office or Pollster Education for assistance.
- You can also politely remind your recommender to confirm if they’ve submitted the letter.

4. Through Pollster Education

- If you are applying through Pollster Education, we provide end-to-end application support and can help you track your documents, including recommendation letters. We can liaise with your recommenders on your behalf if needed.

Tip: Always start this process early, and follow up with your recommenders as deadlines approach to ensure timely submission.
