Recommendation letter question

Applying to College
1

<p>I posted this in a wrong subforum before, so I'm gonna move it here. I asked a research mentor of mine for a recommendation letter several months ago, and it was recently sent in to a bunch of schools. Last week, he emailed me a copy of a letter, unsolicited, that was going to be sent to one school that didn't accept additional recommendations on the Common App. I was unpleasantly surprised to find that it was outdated, and am 99% sure it was a letter he wrote for me 2 years ago when I applied to a summer program. He wrote that I had been interning with him for 2 years, when the number is in fact 4 (as stated in my Common App), and that I was preparing to take classes I have already completed. </p>

<p>My question is, should I ask him politely to email the admissions offices at these various schools with corrections on a) the length of my internship and b) my course-load?</p>

<p>No, you should not!</p>

<p>No one is going to care about the details, and your transcript will confirm which courses you’ve completed. Leave it alone.</p>

<p>Alright. I’m just worried that they will see me claim to have been working with him for 4 years when he only lists 2 and will question my trustworthiness.</p>
