<p>Recently I was admitted to the University of Michigan LSA for the Class of 2016. I am instate. Despite being thrilled after being admitted, I am now riddled with guilt. After looking back at my Common App, one of the positions I listed in a club fell through despite me pursuing it (I applied at the very beginning of the year). </p>
<p>I had one in the app that listed me as a Newsletter Editor for senior year, but the system that would have provided that (a band council) was canceled for lack of interest, which became apparent to me just recently (it was supposed to start 2nd trimester anyway). I feel like a fraud now and am questioning if I can really consider myself a Wolverine. Is this a big deal? Should I contact admissions about this mistake?</p>
<p>It was an honest and minor mistake and honestly unless you were on the absolute border, it wouldn’t have changed your admission decision. I wouldn’t recommend contacting them because I can’t see any positives coming from it. It sounds like you had very minor control over the situation and would have been in the position you were in if the club didn’t fall through, so don’t kick yourself for it, you didn’t want to lie, so you shouldn’t feel guilty for it happening on accident. People have sent in application with much more lies or immense exaggeration than your situation and were accepted for it, so you shouldn’t feel guilty (I’m not trying to compare you to them, just saying people can be way more untruthful on purpose).</p>
<p>It was an accident, don’t sweat it, and of course you’re a Wolverine! Welcome to Michigan.</p>
<p>^^^^^^^</p>
<p>Totally agree. This is NOT a big deal.</p>
<p>Enjoy your admission to Michigan. You earned it.</p>
