Typo in Recommendation letter, is it ok?

刚刚发现我的推荐人把Sloan打成了Slogan...无语...他Submit之前也没给我看,现在已经Submit应该是不是能改了, 不知道有没有人以前遇到相似的情况? 推荐信中有错别字,还是学校的名字...唉,其实这封推荐信写得很好, 要是因为这样一个错误被鄙视了,就可惜了...

所以你没有Waive the rights to read the letter，所以他交了之后你看到的？

No, it's not okay. Sloan will ding you because your recommender hit the wrong key at one part of his recommendation and did not catch it before he submitted. This typing error, although made by someone else, nonetheless clearly shows that you do not have the potential to be a great business leader, because if you can't even control your recommendations for such an important application, how can you achieve great things when the stakes are far higher in future?

Just kidding.

以我的了解，所谓waive the right to review/read recommendation letter是只申请人同意不去跟学校索取推荐信来看。根据美国相关法律规定，因为这是申请人递交申请的一部分，其实是有权去调阅的。如果我的理解不正确，请指正。

推荐人一定要是自己的老师么?

so does anyone know whether it is possible to re-submit the recommendation?

I bet you Sloan won't even notice it. If you try to re-submit, that might draw attention to it, and they will think, oh, ANewHope thinks that "Sloan will ding me because my recommender hit the wrong key at one part of his recommendation and did not catch it before he submitted. This typing error, although made by someone else, nonetheless clearly shows that I do not have the potential to be a great business leader, because if I can't even control your recommendations for such an important application, how can I achieve great things when the stakes are far higher in future?"

What do you think Sloan will think about your judgment and self-confidence at that point?

At this point, you should exercise your own judgment, although I've already told you mine. I think that acting will instead draw attention to your lack of self-confidence and questionable judgment.

That being said, I'm sure you can re-submit. Just ask your recommender to contact Sloan admissions.
