I've Made a Small Mistake on my Application...

Applying to College
1

<p>I am freaking out
On my list of awards, I put down the wrong description for one of them!
This is what I put:
High School Division Karate Tournament 4th place- I ranked 3rd among top competitors. This was a statewide competition.</p>

<p>When actually it was:
High School Division Karate Tournament 4th place- I ranked 4th among top competitors. This was a statewide competition.</p>

<p>I worked really hard to get that recognition. Now it almost looks like I made up the award in the spot. What should I do?? Will they even catch it? I cannot even prove that I received 4th place since they stop giving trophies at 3rd place. I dunno why I put down 3rd place. HELP!!!</p>

<p>I would not worry too much about it.
Not much difference between a 3 or 4th rank to lie about. They will think it's a typo</p>

<p>Unless you're going to a school for Karate, they probably won't check what place you actually recieved.</p>

4

<p>1231: regular adm officers would not notice it, but if you are considering to join the karate team at school, the coach may notice it. perhaps you can e-mail the coach, if you are in contact with them.</p>

<p>Let me tell you what I did, I am freaking out also.</p>

<p>As soon as I hit the send button for an online app, I noticed a typo in my essay. That too on the name of the school I am sending the app to. That is really bad.</p>

<p>Mail a letter with a few sentences pointing out the error. That is what I was told when I had typo in the date of my AP exam. Put you name, address, SS# and date of birth at the top. Address it to the admissions office. They will put it in your file. No harm will come to you.</p>

<p>you guys are awesome. Thank you.
I hope it goes well for you momat. I heard Johns Hopkins have had so much of such errors that nowadays they consider it commonplace-</p>
