I have a dilemma and am not sure if I'm overthinking, but I want to be sure and get some feedback since the application process has been so onerous and exhausting.
When I asked one of my LOR writers to recommend me, I sent them a previous LOR my advisor had written for me for a scholarship to give them a template of sorts, in terms of organization anyway. So what the writer did was basically imitate the first paragraph. So then, when my advisor sent me the LOR she just wrote for me, she literally copy and pasted that same first paragraph into her new letter (both writers were kind enough to share their LORs with me). In other words, BOTH letters have a nearly identical first paragraph! Should I be worried about this? Will this be a red flag? Should I email one of them and ask them to resubmit the letter?
