I've made far too many mistakes, right?

<p>I think I made far too many mistakes on my application. This application is now at Brown, my top choice. I should have focused!</p>

<p>-Mistake 1: Got two activities' hours screwed up. One of them was a summer internship. I worked for 7 hours a day, for 5 days a week- 3 weeks. On the application, I said that I worked for 7 hours A WEEK! </p>

<p>Also, the other one was about how I personally raised a few thousand dollars for flood victims here in my country. I worked for 3 hours per day for 4 days (1 week on the app is miniumum). I put down 3 hours per week for 1 week.</p>

<p>-Mistake 2: I forgot to sign my name on a recommendation letter. They said it was fine, when I called them, but I think they're secretly frustrated.</p>

<p>Opinions??? Also, can't seem to change the activity hours and I am supposed to submit this app. to 5 other colleges!!!</p>

<p>First, I believe there is a way to modify your Common App to make minor changes before you submit it to other colleges.</p>

<p>As for Brown, you can mail a brief letter as an application update to their admissions office indicating the changes you wish to be made to your application.</p>

<p>I am in a similar situation for my top school.</p>

<p>I’m afraid they’ll think I’m a liar. I worked so hard on these activities for them to be disregarded or worse!</p>

<p>As long as you’re not lying, you have nothing to worry about.</p>

<p>Somehow, they have ways of confirming whether what you say is true.</p>

<p>Just send them an update.</p>
