You absolutely should NOT go over to your reference and verbally abuse them. 🙂

Interfolio is informing you to tell your reference to make those corrections.

If your second page is about someone different from you, you are already at a disadvantage. Have your reference correct the letter.
yes that’s what i mean, she corrected the whole letter apologized and uploaded it to interfolio. so now i gotta individually resend it to each school

Here's where it gets tricky: check with the schools on how to proceed:
  • You can send the revised letter to each school, but you lose the perception of "confidentiality" if it's a professor. That won't help you.
  • Your reference may have to send the letter to each school you applied to; check with the schools on what they prefer to do. Your reference may have to do the work for you, but they made the mistake.

ok sounds good. i’m thinking about sending it through interfolio: my recommender will upload it onto there and then i can do email deliver through interfolio. would this work regarding confidentiality?

If it satisfies Interfolio, it should work. Interfolio should be able to notify all of your schools of the update or send it to them if they haven't. (I presume that's what they are going to do.)

do you think the school will think i’m applying to medical school and contact adea to check? is this even possible
 
hi i had to send an updated lor from my science prof bc she made big mistakes. i sent the updated letter a couple days ago, would this move me to the back if the queue for school?
