OptimisteWDC Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Hi Everyone, I've asked my former supervisor for a letter of recommendation for an MBA program. The letter has a plethora of amazing information, however, there are a few formatting errors: Not in business letter format (does not have name, address, etc. before salutation) An extra space or two after some periods Will this negatively reflect upon me during the admissions process?

rising_star Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 1) Neither of these things makes a letter unprofessional. 2) This is why applicants should totally waive their right to read letters because you're stressing out about this unnecessarily. 12345678900987654321, Eigen, works_on_paper and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TakeruK Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 One of my past letters for a graduate fellowship application was shown to me and it was just a list of bullet points. It didn't really affect me negatively (I think) as I still won the fellowship. So I don't think you need to worry about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikeGolfer Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Why would you ever accept to read your LOR? It just causes undue stress, if they agree to write you one, they think you're qualified and will not write a harmful piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
