<p>So I asked my teachers to write me a rec back in September. For some reason, they recently let me read it and I found out that they wrote about some of my officer positions from Junior year. Because they wrote it so early this school year, I did not have many of the positions I stated on my common app yet. For example, I was VP of DECA last year and my teachers wrote that, but now I am president and stated that on the common app. Will colleges think i’m lying and automatically reject my application? I talked to my counselor about this on friday and she said there was nothing she could do but wait it out.</p>
<p>Thanks for your help</p>
<p>If they dated their letter that might help…</p>
<p>I’m not sure if they dated it, but the common app says she submitted it on 9/21. This was about one month after school started. Will this affect any of my decisions?</p>
<p>While they might question it and contact the school to find out, it shouldn’t be an issue given that you actually hold the positions.</p>
<p>Since they don’t know when the positions are determined and the letter may or may not be dated, it’s not strong evidence that you’re lying about your positions. While it might create suspicion and cause them to investigate, they’re not going to reject you outright because of it.</p>
<p>Plus, many people receive recommendations from teachers who don’t know every single one of their positions.</p>
<p>I don’t think this will be a problem at all.</p>
