<p>In my physics essay in Brown’s supplement, I carelessly wrote that the topic I found hardest to master in physics was rotational motion. I said something like “it is not intuitive because the direction of rotational motion is perpendicular to the direction of motion.” I meant to say that the direction of motion is perpendicular to the plane that the object is rotating in. Should I send the Admissions Committee an email or does that come off as needy. Help!</p>
<p>Don’t worry. I would assume that very few of the people on the admissions committee remember anything from the last time they took physics, and they get the idea that you’re trying to explain, anyway. Don’t bother sending an email.</p>
<p>Thanks, but I have a fleeting suspicion that this essay is forwarded to the engineering department, where it is read. Should I just call them anonymously to check this out?</p>
<p>That too, seems a bit excessive. However, one thing you might do is bring it up in your interview. It would be something “different” to discuss and if you are still particularly concerned, I bet there is a chance that the interviewer might note your “self correction” somewhere in their report. If that feels like enough of a “solution” for you, then you can leave it at that. And if you are answering the physics question, then it is sent to the physics dept, not the engineering dept. I’m pretty sure engineering only gets engineering aps (Also as far as I know, for the science supplemental question. I’m not sure what the departments really do with them. Just comments, as far as I know, not make decisions.)</p>
<p>That is really funny. From a CC PoV.
You can’t tell them to ignore anything, and if you bring it to their attention then there isn’t a chance of them skipping over it.
Just don’t worry. I know someone who put sleeping as an activity because they read it as actual “activities.” So…</p>
<p>If you REALLY want to fix it then you’ll have to send in corrections through fax–or something like that. Can’t really remember. I don’t think it’s a concern though.</p>
