I recently submitted incorrect information for my father’s level of education. I listed him as achieving a Master’s Degree instead of a Bachelor’s Degree. Is this an issue big enough to worry about? And if so, how can I fix it. I changed it for the rest of my applications, but the two I sent them too are probably my most realistic choices.
This is not a big deal at all! I do not believe you can change it for the colleges that you have already submitted an application for, but it is good to change it for the ones you still have not submitted.
Usually the questions about your family (income/education/etc) are used for statistics. For example, if a college wants to show how many students they have with parents with no education (first generation college students) versus students whose parents are very educated.
Since this information is not specifically about you and is not used to determine how strong your application is, don’t worry! They won’t notice it is wrong and won’t use it for much!
Thank you so much!!!
