I wrote Democratic People’s Republic of Korea as the birth country for my parents instead of Republic of Korea. If I email all the colleges I applied to, would this be an easy fix? If I send the email, would it hurt my chances for acceptance? Please help
Don’t see why it would hurt your chances of admission. Do definitely get this clarified though.
Some universities have an option to directly change family information through your portal. If not, then pop the admissions offices an email and say you need this fixed. They’ll do it for you no problem.
Not sure you should rely on the portal. A note would go in the file and they’d ask a staffer to update the country info.
