I like mopping floors and doing anything with water/cleaning products that smell good. Dusting, making the beds... now that's a nightmare! And ironing! And cooking! But I love a clean house, oh, how I do!...

See, how people are different. Cooking is awesome! I always say to my mom: I don´t iron due to political reasons that always leaves her speechless

I am waiting for one from Brazil that was sent 6 days ago and another was sent 5 days ago from USA. There's one more being writen. I have three letters in the ERAS post office, only one was upload, which is OK with me. I trust the USPS a lot, I think it's very rare for a letter to get lost. Anyway... what if we reach September 2 and the letters are not there? Do we postpone the application?

I personally would. I´d rather have a "delayed" application than one that is "incomplete". Well, I guess everybody is different. From what I heard, program directors do not start downloading the applications before mid-end September. Could be one of those crazy rumours though

I think if you apply any day in the first two weeks of September, you're safe. This is not a race.

So its the 16th day since sending my LORs and I'm starting to worry here. I wanted to run something by you guys and ask if it would be feasible (since me going back to my home country and getting them again wud be impossible at this point..NOTE always make two LORS!) Before i sent them in to ERAs i had scanned my documents. If i were to sending in a printed scan would it be acceptable to Eras? Since the sign on my LORS has already taken place and the words have been put by the writer itself ? desperate thinking here....advice??

Well, I would call ECFMG on this. After all, I think, that a scanned LoR is better than NO LoR. They would mark your LoR as "not an original" I think....

Yep, awesome! My letters are actually uploaded in the Post office. And that all after the scare in the beinning. There´s really a good chance that they´re backed up by a week One mor LoR to go....

My small rant for today... According to FedEx my LOR was received by ECFMG on August 12th but it still has not shown up even on the verify receipt of documents site. Wrote to ERAS support and they promptly replied that they're backed up these days. Told me to wait for 3-5 more days then resend the LOR using the same courier if I'm still worried. I'm keeping my faith in FedEx though, hopefully it will appear in OASIS soon
