Common App “Future Plans” Section

Applying to College
1

Just applied for Brown PLME and I accidentally put “dentist, medicine” in the “future plans” section of the common app instead of “physician, medicine” as I got confused when applying thru common app and didn’t see the selection for “physician” when submitting my app. Please tell me this doesn’t matter especially for PLME, will I be disadvantaged in the BS/MD application process? What should I do, email the admissions office? I don’t want to seem “uncommitted” to being a physician but I can’t believe I made such a dumb mistake on my application.

Thanks

I would email your AO and tell them your mistake. Short and sweet, don’t apologize, don’t say you made a dumb mistake. @CiaraFin @BrownPLME What do you think?
