My professor accidentally sent the draft version of the recommendation letter to UTD and it had a mistake of the university name as "[Enter university name]" which was supposed to be replaced with the intended university name. It was submitted into a portal. Is there any way to remedy this? I've already submitted the application and emailed them about the mishap. What are my chances to remedy this situation?

I am not sure what's the problem here. Can't your professor resend the letter?– NobodyCommented Nov 17, 2018 at 5:46

It's an online portal where you drop your submission and the portal is closed after you submit.– shrouded94Commented Nov 17, 2018 at 6:10

1Most likely this will have no impact on the decision.– OBuCommented Nov 17, 2018 at 11:57

1You can't do anything. In principle, the professor can resend the letter, either by revisiting the portal or by emailing the admissions committee directly, but it's really not worth the trouble.– JeffECommented Nov 17, 2018 at 22:52

1How do you know what was in the letter the professor submitted?– JeffECommented Nov 17, 2018 at 22:53

Chill.
Admission committees get this sort of thing frequently. We understand your professor's situation (because we write lots of recommendation letters ourselves). It is very unlikely that a committee would even bother to comment...
... and a tiny mistake on your professor's part certainly shouldn't affect your chances of admittance.
