<p>Ok so I walk up to my teacher - who I asked to write me a letter of recommendation - and told her if she had sent the letter to the universities I am planning to attend. Then, she mentions how she didn’t know it was for the application and thought it was for a college scholarship. So instead of writing “Dear admissions committee” and things like that she accidently wrote “Dear scholarship committee” and that she remembers writing that she recommends me for the “scholarship” instead of admission. Will this look really bad to the admissions committee even though it was not my fault? Or will they look over it as an accident and not affect me at all?</p>
<p>Don’t worry about it. It’s clearly the teacher’s mistake and not yours, so you won’t be penalized. What’s important isn’t the way the letter is addressed - it’s the content, the things she has to say about you.</p>
<p>they’d raise an eyebrow but then they’d assume it’s not your fault because you didn’t see the letter anyways.</p>
