LOE directed towards one school, problem?

One of my evaluators wrote a LOE for more directed at one school, his alumni, the school I want to go to, is it a bad thing? Will it be viewed negatively by other schools, and should I asked for him to reword his letter. I have it marked through the ADEA application so I can't see it, he gave me a copy so that is how I know what it says.

When adcom's read it, will it be clear that the letter is directed towards a completely different school? If so, that could be a bad thing, they might wonder if you had requested him to do that to impress that school, and you're interest in their school is low. Adcoms are generally looking for things in letters that really stick out to them, good and bad. Honestly, most students have fairly weak relationships with their science professors, so most of the letters say the same stuff. If you think his comments will stand out negatively, I would ask him to change it.

As it stands now, I wouldn't use it in my honest opinion. If you have any courage, ask him if he can make it more general by describing any good qualities you have, your personality, and how you would make a good dentist. Good luck!
