<p>My son's short essay looked like it fit, and we thought we checked it enough times. But of course, after we submitted it to five schools, I realized when it printed, the last five words were cut off.
What are the ramifications of such a mistake? Should we tell the schools of the error?
I was able to make a new version for his other schools, but his top choices were in the first group.</p>
<p>My advice? Take a chill pill. 5 words will mean essentially nothing. There are no “ramifications” for dropping 5 words, and schools won’t care. If a paragraph was missing, then that’d be a problem. Just take a deep breath</p>
