Forgot to mark legacy on Common App?

Hi, I’m applying to Vanderbilt, and I have a sibling who is attending Vandy right now. I made a mistake on the Common App and forgot to mark my sibling as a legacy (I forgot to put it on the Common App section of “what college does your sibling attend”). What should I do? Should I call the admissions office or email them?

Email the general admissions email address with the info. Include enough info so they can easily find your application – name, address, maybe last 4 of SSN.

I’d email them regarding this, also, if you have anything else you’d like to add to your application in terms of newly won awards or something of the like, take this as an opportunity to relay that information as well. Good luck!

@intparent @Jcannon1023 Thanks for the advice! So you wouldn’t suggest I call them?

I think in writing is better. If you want, you could ask if they could please reply to your email to confirm that the information was received.

@intparent Okay, thank you!

Call your admissions counselor and ask them how to go about changing it. I call my wonderful counselor Kaila all the time…she’s always very helpful! If you’re EDII you better make it fast…
