Doh...forgot something on my application!

Applying to College
1

<p>I've sent in applications to three schools already and forgot to put down something important because it didn't really fall into any category other than "Extra Information." It's a fundraiser I started at my school that raised $700+. I know I can't change anything about my applications. Is there a way to email them and get that put on there? Or would that just make me look bad because it would show that I'm forgetful?</p>

<p>Or maybe I'm making a big deal out of nothing. What should I do?</p>

<p>I wouldn't make a big deal out of $700.</p>

<p>If the fundraiser is something that is genuinely important to you, and you feel it will really help your chances, e-mail the Admissions Department and let them know. People forget stuff on their applications all the time - I forgot to mention 2 things (both ECs, and both very relevant to my intended major) and called Admissions; they said it happens a lot and made a note of it in my file.</p>

<p>By the way, running a fundraiser and raising $700 is very impressive. I ran a charity organization for 2 years and I don't think we raised that much in total, lol.</p>

<p>Thanks so much! That's a relief to hear =)</p>

<p>$700 isn't a lot . . . but then again it depends on the student body.</p>

<p>^sAxsKy - For some schools in some regions, raising $700 is quite a big deal! Good job OP and definitely update your college</p>
