Sometimes if university finds and then they may ask for clarification why you added personal email and not professional emails. Untill then you are ok

As far as I know, when a recommender receives a mail to give their recommendation for the student, only a link is sent in the email and when the link is clicked, a pop-up window gets opened with the university website. The mail only has a link which gets forwarded to them, they don't have to submit something external using their official email id. Hope I didn't confuse you and this helped.

Judy Bear · Answer

You can speak with your advisor regarding the same. Usually, only official emails are accepted. If that is the case, you can request your recommender to re-submit the LOR using the link sent on official mail since only the link will be sent and it has nothing to do with email from the official email ID.

Hi Judy what I meant to say was I provided my recommenders personal mail id so the college sent the link  to that respective mail Id. My query is would it affect my chances of acceptance because i used my recommenders personal insetad of work mail. The reason I couldn’t provide work mail is ik for a fact my current and previous organisation did not allow mails to be sent to external sources from the work mail

Thats good to know, i recreated a new id for my colleges and asked my requestors to resend their LOR from work mail found a loophole for two of them but for one i had to use personal mail
