Misspelled Name on Letter of Recommendation

Transfer Students

<p>So...one of the professors I asked for a letter of recommendation from misspelled my last name. He spelled it correctly the first two times, but then got it wrong the third time...which I assume means it's just a typo.</p>

<p>I wasn't supposed to read it, I know, I feel guilty, but I was there when he was stuffing the envelopes and I thought I saw something that looked like it might have been my last name misspelled. I should have, but unfortunately I didn't stop him then and there. One of my colleges requires only one letter and I had asked two professors, so I was able to open one of the envelopes without harm.</p>

<p>The letter's written well, but I'm afraid the misspelling will look bad. Is this a big deal? I don't see any other way besides just mailing them in and hoping admissions officers will acknowledge it was a simple mistake.</p>

<p>I’m sure it really doesn’t matter, especially if he spells it correctly other times in the letter. They either won’t notice or will just ignore it as a typo.</p>

<p>Okay, that’s what I was thinking. Thank you.</p>

<p>Finding the typo is your punishment for peeking. But probably no one will even notice. Nothing to worry about.</p>
