<p>My teacher set up a meeting with a doctor at a local practice and I visited him for an hour. She told me that she called it a work study program in my letter of rec and that I did it with other practices. It's one of my only 2 letters, I need to send it, and she won't change it.</p>
<p>Bump</p>
<p>I’m confused what is going on here?</p>
<p>You need to send a letter of recommendation? I thought you are not suppose to see the letter and the teacher is suppose to send the letter of rec. </p>
<p>I don’t understand what the problem is?</p>
<p>How did your your teacher lie exactly? </p>
<p>she exaggerated my experience by calling it a work study program. I didn’t see the letter. she just told me about it.</p>

<p>If she just told you about it, you don’t specifically know that she wrote it. Plus it’s her letter not yours. You won’t get in trouble for her lies. </p>
<p>Oh man, I disagree. This is outright wrong and since she has told you about it, it makes it really bad – what if you are being interviewed and they ask you about this work study program? Do you know participate in the lie? If the counselor will not correct this letter, I think you go to someone else and explain. I realize you are not making up the lie, but it could be seen by an admissions rep (if they found out) that you were the one who told your guidance counselor this exaggeration… If you send an email to the guidance counselor asking to change the letter, that you are not comfortable with this exaggeration of your experience (don’t call it a lie), KEEP A COPY OF THE EMAIL.</p>
<p>Agree with momof2back2back, keep an email that you told someone about this (the teacher or guidance counselor). I’m sure it was an honest mistake on the teacher’s part, but it’s bizarre to just make something up that didn’t happen. Good luck, this sounds stressful. </p>
