<p>So I just realized today, which I know is extremely late, that my teacher addressed a specific college when she submitted my rec to that college. However, the same rec also went to the other schools that I applied to using commonapp? </p>
<p>Will this hurt my chances at top schools? I'm really scared, although it really wasn't my fault...</p>
<p>They’ll see that it was done through the commonapp, so it probably won’t hurt you too much. After all, it was the teacher that made the mistake, not you. They may just assume that the teacher wasn’t quite sure how the commonapp worked.</p>
<p>I’d say it won’t hurt your chances much. It’s definitely nowhere near as bad as if you wrote your essay to a specific school or to the wrong school.</p>
<p>yeah, my teacher definitely didn’t know how to work commonapp…</p>
<p>but I’m still scared that it might hurt me anyways.</p>
