commonapp mistake..major or minor?

<p>Hi everyone so i applied early action to caltech and as i was preparing to submit commonapp to other colleges, i discovered that i put the wrong date of entry to school: i put 08/2008 instead of 08/2007. should i call or email caltech admissions office? or the office is gonna think this is a minor error since i've already sent in my transcript?</p>

<p>That’s a minor error and you’re right, the transcript will make it clear. I wouldn’t worry about it.</p>

<p>that’s what i thought, but i think it’s better to inform them anyway? maybe? or is that gonna put some negativity on my record, sloppiness or whatever? what do you think? and thx for responding!</p>

<p>for peace of mind, sure call them. But I guarantee that you will NOT be rejected on the sole basis that your date was wrong.</p>
