I accidentally told 2 colleges they were my first choice. In my continued letter of interest, I told the school I am continuing to uphold them as my first choice school. A few weeks passed and I had an interview with another school. The guy asked if insert school name was my first choice. I panicked and said yes. I know they’re not supposed to ask that and I probably could’ve said something else, but I panicked. It’s still in my top choices, but the school I got deferred from remains my #1. The interviewer wrote it down and said he would be sure to convey that to admissions. Now both schools admissions think they’re my first choice.
- When students say this, I'm sure they don't take it super seriously because obviously people are just going to say that sometimes
- I'm obviously not going to contact the school just to say they're not my first choice. I would just be doing myself wrong.
Anyways, do you think it’s possible that these schools will find out I said they’re were my first choice? It’s not like I’m some genius that admissions officers will be whispering about to each other, but I have a shot and I don’t want to mess that up.
If a MOD wants to delete this exact post from earlier, that would be great because I acc. posted it in Middlebury, but I meant to post it here.
