Before November 1st I applied ED to Northwestern but yesterday while I was going over my application I noticed that I made a small punctuation error on my common app statement. I immediately changed it, but I’m pretty sure Northwestern has already received the one with the error. Do you think is there anyway I can re-submit the essay, or does Common App automatically send the new one when I edit it? I’ve emailed Common App but I am very stressed…what should I do??
The AdComms aren’t going to care about a minor typo or punctuation error. They are not the Punctuation Police.
General advice: NEVER EVER read your application again after you hit the SUBMIT button. Just move on.
