<p>Guys,</p>
<p>i had assigned a math teacher and a chemistry teacher as my recommenders. it seems that both drafted the LOR together. but, while submitting, they did it separately. </p>
<p>the issue is that, one paragraph was the same in both the LOR's and they failed to recognize it. will this affect my chances of admission. </p>
<p>PS. there was no other discrepancies. </p>
<p>plz help me out. i'm really really worried.</p>
<p>That’s an odd problem. Is it word for word the same? I imagine they may be confused, and it’ll probably put a hole in the recommendations’ credibility, but I doubt it will be a deal breaker.</p>
<p>ya, word to word it is same. 3 lines. they didn’t merge it properly. the math teacher wrote abt my math abilities and chem teacher wrote abt me in general. but, when i saw their recommendations, it had </p>
<p>“With my observations and assessments, as briefed above, on the capabilities of XXX, in terms of his curriculum, project experience, project presentation, seminar presentation, soft skills, etc. and also his qualities, I am confident and do not have any reservation in recommending him for admission to Under-graduate study of your institution.”</p>
<p>in both. i told them this, but they said; it looks fine as both agree to this statement and both have framed it together.</p>
<p>guys, plz plz plz reply. Somebody.</p>
<p>There is nothing you can do about it at this point. Take a deep breath and know that you have done all you can do. If they want you, they will accept you. It was not your fault and is out of your hands now. (Curious as to how you would see these anyway- I thought students didn’t see the letters).</p>
<p>^ That’s only if you waived your right to see them. If you didn’t, then you can actually read the recommendations.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t worry about it if I were you. The paragraph you cited is basically boilerplate; what’s important is above that paragraph, in their personal observations and assessments. If you are a good fit for Stanford, that little paragraph won’t make a difference IMHO.</p>

<p>I waived my right to see the letters, but my recommenders gave me a hard copy of the letter (i didn’t ask for one). Maybe that’s how?</p>
<p>i asked for a hard copy, after their submission. [since, u cant change what is submitted]</p>
