<p>On three of my common app applications I overlooked a big mistake. For the sports section instead of Outdoor Track somehow Lacrosse was selected. Even though before I sent them off I swear it said outdoor track and I'm really confused as to how it happened. I know I can't edit my applications once I sent them off but will an error like that be a major factor in whether or not I get accepted into one of those schools?</p>
<p>It should not be a factor. Contact the schools and advise them of the correction. Minor mistakes like that are perfectly normal.</p>
