Big Issue - Please Help!

Applying to College
1

<p>I just applied ED to Columbia University, but I have an issue. I filled out both the Common Application and the Columbia First-Year Application (which is on their website). My guidance counselor told me only to use the Common App, and I forgot to delete my Columbia First-Year Application. Apparently, my Columbia First-Year App was automatically submitted, without my knowledge (along with the Common App). I told the admissions office about my issue, and they said to just write an email about my issue.</p>

<p>However, I am worried that my documents are going to be all mixed up. I have 1 teacher recommendation being sent in by mail, and one essay that had to be sent by email. How much should I stay in contact with admissions about my issue (without being too intrusive)?</p>

<p>The school should be able to handle duplicate applications</p>

<p>There’s no flipping reason to be bumping your query. Colleges intake millions of documents every year. If anything is amiss, they will contact YOU. Please stop worrying about this.</p>

<p>They are sophisticated enough to handle one mailed doc and one emailed doc. OK?</p>
