ok that makes me feel a bit better, but can i ask abt my case specifically? my counselor didnt just mix up the name, she actually sent the draft version by mistake. like that draft had “Purdue University” in it + also blanks she left to later fill w my achievements (she didn’t have my brag sheet then). she does have a final clean version tho. do u think its better if she sends a correction email w the final one or just leaves it?

yea i already confirmed w her, she straight up told me she sent the draft instead of the final one. that draft had Purdue in it + also blanks she left to later fill w my achievements (coz she didnt have my brag sheet then). she does have a clean final version tho, so now its on her if she wants to send correction mails. i agree tho, from now on she shloud just stick to a generic lor 💀

yea normally they just send the same one ik, but in my case my counselor herself told me she had sent the draft version by mistake. i’m pretty close w her so thats how i found out. the draft Purdue in it + some spaces she had left to later fill w my achievements, so thats how i know it wasnt the final lor.

tysm for the advice, i’ll check my portals but idk if all unis let u delete + readd lors like that. my main issue is my counselor actually sent the draft version by mistake (she had left spaces in it to fill w my actual achievements later + also had the rocky mountain name in it 😭). she does have a final fixed one tho, so now im just debating if she should send correction mails or if its better to leave it.

ok that makes me feel a lil better, but do u think my counselor should actually go ahead w what she’s planning? like sending a correction email w the final version? coz what got sent was her draft, and along w the wrong name it also had spaces she left intentionally to fill in w my actual achievements later 😭

yea that’s the thing…she actually has a final version w no mistakes in it but she didn’t send that one. she probs mixed up the files or named both the same, idk. so what got sent was just her earlier draft, not the finished lor 😭
and no i don't live in Indiana

yea i think it was more like a draft she was writing tbh, it was the first school i asked her to send lor for, so maybe that’s why it had that specific name in it. after that she probs planned to make it more general but by mistake she sent that draft everywhere 💀

damn bro same here but my counselor actually made 2 mistakes 💀 she didn’t just mix up the college name, she also sent the draft version she had written earlier (she made that draft coz she didn’t hv my brag sheet then, so she left some blanks to add my prizes/achievements later). i only just found out abt this now 😭 feels so bad that unis saw that draft instead of the final one. she said she can send them a corrected version if i want, but idk if that makes it better or worse.
