Crap... Common App mistake

Applying to College
1

<p>I just submitted my common app to my top choice college, but I realized I made a "mistake" about half an hour after I submitted it. I started my own jewelry-making business in 10th grade. It's a legitimate job, and I earn about $200 a month by handmaking jewelry. So on the common app where it says "work experience," I wrote "jewelry-making" and under employer I wrote "self-employed." The more I think about it, the more illegit that sounds. I should've said "handcrafting jewelry business" or something to make it sound less like a hobby.... Do you think this will matter a lot? Should I contact the admissions counselor to explain? This is my absolute dream school, and I'm afraid this stupid little mistake will decrease my chances. </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>lmao, you are right, it does like “made-up”. But i wouldn’t call the admission counselor, they are super busy at this time. The best you can do is just forget about it. Maybe if you are defered, you can submit some more info about your business.</p>
