<p>My counselor presented me with her recommandation that she wrote for me, two days after I ask her to write one for me, which obviously mean that she didnt take the time. In the recommandation, there are numerous spelling errors and spaces in which there shouldnt be spaces (i guess she never learned to use spell check). BUT more importantly, she has my class rank wrong. it is a bit off. I am rank # 110 in a class of 398 and she wrong i am rank # 113 in a class of 378. Would this affect my chances of admission or the mistake will clear itself in the transcript.</p>
<p>Note: I wasn't suppose to read the recommandation in the first place, since she clearly seal it. </p>
<p>So should i confront her and ask her to fix her mistakes or not.</p>
<p>definitely not...unless she handed it to you unsealed bringing it up with her would be very bad, especially if you've signed something waiving your rights to see recommendations</p>
<p>^ she enclosed the recommandation along with my transcript in a regular sized envelope. in order to put all my supporting materials in one large package, i open her letter and put all my stuff in one. that is when i glance at it. i hope she wont noticed :(</p>
<p>you really shouldn't have opened it. colleges usually want it sealed and mailed directly by the teacher/counselor. they don't want it in the same envelope.</p>
<p>OP is complaining that his GC doesn't know spelling etc. But OP lacks integrity which is worse, I think. Opening sealed envelopes to look at the rec was a bad move on his part.</p>
<p>I recommend putting the recommendation in a new envelope and sealing it ... and do not in any way mention to the teacher or to anyone else the contents of the recommendation ... the sealed envelope was supposed to be a confidential recommendation ... you can correct your mistaken actions to get things back on track.</p>
