TaewooBurns Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 My LOR writer sent me the letter they wrote after they mailed it in. I noticed they referred to the university by the wrong name! For example, if I applied for Texas Tech, but they said, "TaewooBurns will be a great addition to the PhD program at University of Texas." I'm hoping the school will be ok with it. The content of the letter is really good, and I have no complaints on that end. Anyone ever have this happen?
bhr Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 The school won't care. Odds are, it will get a chuckle and the board will move on. TaewooBurns 1
bakalamba Posted July 11, 2014 Posted July 11, 2014 Yeah, I don't think it's a big deal. I'm sure this happens a lot - it's normal for faculty members to write a half dozen LORs to a dozen students. I haven't seen any of my LORs, but it's very possible there are wrong school names on some of them.
Thesis Posted July 11, 2014 Posted July 11, 2014 Well it is true that's not nice .. But do not worry a lot for that, admissions commitees have already seen things like that, they know the writer could write dozens of letters and obviously he/she could make a mistake, the most important thing is the letter itself, since you say it is good, it's not a big deal then. Good luck
