Hi Clear Admit,
I'm applying to a few top US MBAs, and for one specific school that I care deeply about, 2 of 3 my recommendations have been sent and are disastrous:
Recommender 1 sent a letter written for another school by mistake
Recommender 2 sent the right letter, but had e-mailed it to me before submitting it, so that we could discuss it. I made some comments in the file, then he submitted it. Now he realized that the word document has my name as author in its properties.
So 2 questions:
1 - is this a big deal?
2 - If I just cancel my application now, and start a new one with a different e-mail address, and get the same recommendations without the fiasco, will they be able to trace the other one back to me? Will it be held against me?
Thanks a lot !
