<p>I AM SUCH AN IDIOT. I checked a million times but I missed one mistake. One tiny mistake. </p>
<p>I put my moms first name in "Last" and my moms last name in "first" </p>
<p>WHAT AM I GONNA GO!?!??!</p>
<p><em>CRIES</em> </p>
<p>Is it a big deal? I don't want to call them and ask them to change it because then they'll be like "oh she made a mistake- minus 324143 points" And I mean everywhere else its correct. </p>
<p>I'm going to die.</p>
<p>Email them. They'll fix it! :)</p>
<p>But they'll look badly upon me :( </p>
<p>I screwed up. Now my chances of getting in are even lower.</p>
<p>Don't worry I seem to notice dumb errors too...I defintly didn't put my awards in the right order... :/</p>
<p>you actually think adcoms care what your mother's name is?</p>
<p>"No, you cannot make any electronic changes to an application after it has been submitted. You need to contact Johns Hopkins University directly and submit any changes via regular mail "</p>
<p>I can't email them. I have to send them a letter. Thats even worse.</p>
<p>Oh my god, youre kidding right?</p>
<p>No. I'm not kidding.</p>
<p>It was such stupid stupid stupid mistake. I can't believe it.</p>
<p>Either this is a fine, humorous troll, or you need to calm down. They receive thousands of applications a year from Type A hoop-jumping overachieving high school students. Trust me, you aren't the first to make a mistake on the application. </p>
<p>But go ahead and withdraw your app if that will make you feel better...</p>
<p>No. I'm not being humorous. But how can they not care? Its supposed to be my #1 dream perfect school and mistakes on my application just show that its not and that I wasn't careful enough.</p>
<p>how can you say thats its a trol?!?!! are you in my head, NO!</p>
<p>Adcoms have nothing to do with the processing anyway..you don't actually think that the dean of admission sits all day in the office copying files and opening envelopes.</p>
<p>Stop stressing. No one will care.</p>
<p>Oh wait, that's my common sense talking. I actually meant to say that you should stop any further education and buy a cardboard box to live in now.</p>
<p>Admissions must have an email! What century is this?</p>
<p>The mistake actually, wasn't my fault- The application wouldn't save parts of my information correctly after I made a correction and saved. I remember changing the order and saving it, but it didn't save</p>
<p>tinas, it doesn't matter.</p>
<p>The people who review your file to accept/reject you are almost certainly NOT the same people who process your paperwork, ie make little changes like this to your application. Even if they were, JHU receives thousands upon thousands of applications per year. There's no way they'd care about a minor detail like this.</p>
<p>And even if you don't get it changed, why will it matter? JHU has a wealth of info on you - test scores, grades, essays, recs, you name it - why would they look at how you filled out your mother's name to evaluate how smart and dedicated you are?</p>
<p>Tinas, if you are not a troll (and your latter posts make it seem as though you're serious), know that your mistake is nothing. In the section for name suffixes (where you'd put "III," "jr.," etc. if applicable), I put N/A just to be sure. Guess what my name showed up as (and what it's stuck as)? Last name First name Middle name N/A. I just hope it makes someone in the admissions office laugh when they read it.</p>
<p>People seriously need to chill out.</p>
<p>My app to MIT last year was "First name Last name the 3rd" :))
(a friend made the joke when I gave him the account to check info...and forgot to tell me to change. But did i panic? No, in fact we had quite a laugh ^^</p>
<p>Just to clarify, I didn't panic or anything when I find out about my name- I actually thought it was quite funny.</p>
