LOR question

Transfer Students

<p>First of all, are students allowed to read LORs?</p>

<p>Well, I asked a professor to write me a letter of recommendation for the school that I hope to be transferring to, however, after I received the letter I was really stumped. Don't get me wrong, the letter was very nice and I am very thankful he wrote me a recommendation, however, near the end of the letter he flat out mixed up my name and put someone else's name on the recommendation. After I noticed this, I told him and after a few days later he gave me the same exact letter with the same exact name mix-up (didn't check until I got home because I was in a rush to get to my final, my mistake). So, I guess I'm going to have to point that out to him again, but since I won't see him because finals are over, will transfer admissions accept emailed letters of recommendation?</p>

<p>I'll call the admissions and ask them about the emailing, but still wondering if teachers dont mind students reading recommendations.</p>

<p>Typically LORs are not supposed to be seen by the student, but I guess that it's a good thing that you caught those mistakes. You might be able to scan it into a computer as a .pdf file and e-mail it to someone, then mail the original right afterward. Call admissions though - that's your best bet.</p>
