B-School App. Mistake

by Hayek33 » Mon Jan 16, 2012 11:35 am
I just realized that I made an error in my resume that I added to my grad school application. I stated that every semester I received the deans list, but in one semester I was part time, due to taking 3 credits at another school at the same time, and received deans commendation instead( same as deans list but for part time).

I am really nervous about this and I was not trying to deceive anyone. My question is, because I cannot change the application now, should I point this out to admissions and ask to change it or not mention it at all? Really appreciate your help on this, thanks.

Don't sweat it!!!

It's no big deal. It happens to a LOT more people than you might think. Just write them a quick note saying you made little error, and they'll fix it for you. Admissions offices tend to be very nice and very understanding about these things.

Hi Hayek33,

We would advise you to send an email/letter stating the error and you should be fine :)

Thanks for both of your replies, how should I go about writing this into a letter to make it seem like not that big of a deal?
