<p>Long story short... I transferred from University of Oregon to home, so i could be closer to my family (in Southern California)... Truth is, I only transferred so I could be closer to my then-boyfriend. Now that we aren't together anymore, I would be happy to be far away from home. </p>
<p>I recently saw American University in Washington DC and fell completely in love with the school and the city. </p>
<p>Problem is that I wrote on my Common App essay that I want to be closer to home... But that doesn't make sense, if I am applying to a school across the country </p>
<p>And American University doesn't have a supplement essay. </p>
<p>So I edited my essay and deleted the part that said I wanted to be closer to home.
I know they haven't reviewed my application because they haven't received my college transcript yet. </p>
<p>Will they know that I edited to application?? If so, will it make it look horrible??</p>
