I'm very lucky to have been admitted to all my top choices and now I have narrowed it down to these two. I know Georgetown has more name recognition in the US and I don't really know where IHEID ranks globally compared to SFS. I lean towards SFS because I think it is the better program, but I can't find any rankings that include IHEID. It seems like most of the top IR lists only include US programs and leave out schools like IHEID, Sciencespo and LSE. Thoughts?

I waived my rights to see my LOR's, but one professor emailed me his recommendation after he had submitted it anyway. It was an amazing recommendation and he happens to be an alum of this specific program to which I'm applying. The only problem is he misspelled my first name a couple of times in his recommendation. It is spelled correctly most of the time though. I'm not sure if there is anything I can do or should do at this point as the letter has already been submitted. Do you think this will severely hurt my application or lessen the value of this LOR? (My first name by the way has two common spellings Sara and Sarah)
