The deadline of the b school i'm applying for (ESSEC) is this friday and i sent all the application documents 2 weeks ago.

But today, looking through my documents again on my computer, i realized that my motivation letter had "EDHEC" written in one of the paragraphs, instead of "ESSEC." Oh my gosh, what do i do. I said "ESSEC" the whole time, and just in one paragraph, (due to careless copy and pasting ) i referred to the wrong school. But believe it or not, I triple-checked and proofread before sending out the documents!! >=(


I got admitted to EM LYON a few weeks ago, but I declined the offer, because my first choice is ESSEC..

How much of an impact will the mistake have on my whole application? (I know..it would be quite a lot..but still)
My other documents, including the recommendation letters, GMAT, TOEFL, transcripts are all good,
and I even met one of the international recruitment officer with my CV, and was told I would definitely be a good fit for the school..but i made one tiny, but HUGE, careless mistake in my motivation letter......

Please help...what do I do? Does anyone know people who've successfully got into desirable schools despite such careless mistakes???

First: Don't flip out. If you are a good candidate anyhow, the school won't throw your application out the window because of one tiny typo. I've seen people make faaaar bigger mess ups and still get in. So don't worry.
The question is always: to come clean or not?
In your case it's so minor (just one letter once) that to write them an email explaining your mistake seems excessive. So, after a bit of thought I think just let it slide this time.

Thank you for the reply!

If it was just a minor typo, i would've let it go, but I got the school name wrong (once) and...that obviously shows my lack of attention to detail. So I panicked big timeeeee :(

But I guess there is nothing I can do now and like you said, there are some people who still get admitted because they have other laudable qualities which over weigh the minor mistake.

I really do hope the adcom sees it as an honest mistake and just let me go to the next interview round!!
