<p>I just found out that I totally misinterpreted the extra curricular section of my common application. But I applied to Northwestern ED (and got deferred). And only today did I notice. Do you think I should email the admissions office with my my new ECs? Or would that potentially hurt my chances of getting in regular? PLEASE freaking out here!!</p>
<p>How did you misinterpret the form? did you fill out the hours/time incorrectly? I would find our who your regional counselor is and email them an explanation and updated info. Maybe you could just create a new activities grid which improves what you have on the common app.</p>
