Yes, I submitted that September 25th and asked for off-campus interview. I already went to campus last year. Working on the essays now..

I just read the recommendation that was submitted for me. It is great...but there are typos, he forgot to put the name of the institution where he graduated from, and there are some industry terms that he doesn't explain. He also uses a lot of bullets instead of prose. However, the content is there.

Do you think its anything to fret over?

My understanding is that in recommendations, the schools only care about the 'content', not the 'form'. They are quite forgiving with typos et al. So I think you don't need to worry about it.

ps. At least you get to see the reco. I haven't even seen mine

Gosh, I hope you are right. One of my recommenders is a great guy, and will write a very strong recommendation for me, but his writing is often flawed.

This is the only one I've seen, and it looks like he used most of the content from the packet I sent him...and some from my essays.

Oh well, I'm just happy he is so supportive and has submitted. I was afraid he'd miss the deadline since time management is his biggest weakness. This guy is always swamped!

It took me two weeks to get 15 minutes with him...and I'm his direct report!!

What about typos in essays? No matter how much I review, I am sure there will always be 1 or 2 typos in the app somewhere. Will those mean an automatic ding?

A Columbia admit sent me his career essay from last year. There were a few typos and grammatical errors in there...

Typos in essays are a little tricky. But my take is that as long as the typos/grammatical errors don't break the flow and/or make the adcom go, "Whaaaaat?", you shouldn't get a ding just because of them.

Typos and grammatical errors can still leave a bad taste in the reader's mouth. So, be very careful about them (As if you didn't know that already).

My recommenders have written some great letters for me, but their writing style/grammar ain't so good. My friend spent roughly 5 hours (while watching TV) so far over the past weekend editing, while trying to keep their "tone/content". It's been stressful...

(edited to be more clear, take out exaggerations, and avoid misunderstandings and accusations)

Well in my I got my interview assignment. Its actually in my home town so I wont have to travel to get there. Its impressive that they have a guy in my little seaside city of 20K people there happens to be a grad. I googled him and he happens to be the founder of a company and had some financial books published.

One of my recos wrote a letter and then answered the questions briefly and pointed to the letter to highlight the characteristics in detail. I think schools are pretty forgiving when it comes to LORs.

Finished with essays, waiting for recommendations. Are there any examples of how recommendations could be written in school forms and not in form of the regular letter?

I should be done by the middle of the week...hopefully. They are close I just need to go over them with a fine tooth comb to really make sure all the spelling and grammar are right.

You guys are "seeing" and "revising" and "editing" the recs? wouldn't that be considered unethical?

Originally my recommenders offered to let me edit the recs. I asked a few questions about it on Businessweek forums and got completely chewed out. In the end I didn't want to risk it and just asked my recommenders to do it themselves. I would think the adcom can easily smell a "fixed" rec.
