<p>Help, Common app. went out with a typo in the short answer!!! Is is better to contact the schools and try to re-send a corrected version or do nothing and not call attention to the typo?</p>
<p>My d called each school when this happened to her. Some said not to worry about it. Some said to fax a revised copy. The worst part is feeling like an idiot.</p>
<p>So, it’s best to contact the schools and try to correct the typo?</p>
<p>Any more input?</p>
<p>I have two small typos in my common app. It’s regrettable, but not at all important. Colleges won’t reject you on a typo, and if they do, you were not a strong candidate to begin with. (this is assuming it is a small typo…)</p>
