Teacher Recommendation: What should I do??

Applying to College
1

<p>I asked three teachers to write me recommendations. Two for general purposes because I believe they know me well etc etc. The third I asked because I know that she's an alumnus at one of the schools that I'm applying to and thought that she could provide an insight as to how I would fit in at that school in her recommendation.
Unfortunately, sending out teacher recommendations at my high school works like this: the first two recommendations sent down to the guidance office are sent to every college that I apply to.</p>

<p>..which I was painfully unaware of. I found out yesterday when I took one of my general purpose teacher recommendations down to the guidance office and my guidance counselor told me that she had already sent out everything. Oops.
Soooo...there's a distinct possibility that admissions officers at various universities will be reading about how well I would fit in at a completely different university (i.e. not the one they're representing).
Which brings me to my final question:
What should I do??</p>

<p>Send the college admissions offices an email and notify them that the wrong recommendation was submitted by your school, with the name of the teacher whose rec should not have been sent. Add that Ms./Mr. X will be sending the correct recommendation ASAP. Then have that teacher send it. This stuff happens.</p>

<p>Have your teacher send her letter directly.
I had to do that with one of my schools because my transcripts needed to be sent ASAP and the letter could be sent later.</p>
