LOR Writer Didn’t Write First Name

[LizKay]

Hello. I had two professors and a supervisor at a university program I worked on write me LORs for two Ivies I’m applying to for masters. The program supervisor submitted her online LOR with her first name showing as “Self-Employed”. (She was an outside consultant for my university.)

Since I waived my right to view the submitted LORs, I don’t know whether she wrote her full name anywhere else. I can just see that the universities I’m applying to received LORs from a “Self-Employed [last name]”.

Her email address has her first and last name showing. But do you think this will affect my admissions in any way? I’ve already submitted them before the deadline in January and didn’t think anything of it as it seems to be such a small mistake. But now I’m just wondering. Thanks.

I think you're fine. Schools understand that typos in letters of recommendation aren't within your control.

Okay, thank you. That gives me peace of mind.

It didn’t matter in the end. I still got accepted to my first choice. I think I worried too much over a minor issue.

Probably won't be the last time either. Such is life.
