Just realized my common app mistake!!!! help needed

omg! I don’t even know how I didn’t realize the error for freaking two months and realized it NOW.
I had to fill out parent’s information for scholarship so I got lazy in re-doing the search so I went up to pdf version of common app and was copying it UNTIL i found out that I put my mom as self employed when she definitely is not. I even had the company name but somehow put her as self employed. Does anyone know how I should email the colleges about this? so screwed for life :frowning:

Take a deep breath - this is a very minor mistake. I highly doubt this will have an impact on your admissions, or if the admissions officers noticed it at all.

ugh I can’t believe I even made this mistake. I checked my common app so many times to proofread. I should email the colleges right?

No impact on admissions. Correcting it in applying for aid is the important part.

You should NOT email the colleges. This is completely insignificant and you’re over reacting

Don’t email colleges. It doesn’t matter for admission purposes.

Wouldnt they think its weird tho? Self employed to employed?

Because the thing is for some of the colleges, im not applyng for aid since im an international student. There won’t be anywhere for me to correct the information.

No. At worst they’ll contact you for clarification, but your mistake will have no effect on your decision whatsoever.

This is also true of the colleges you do not request aid from. Just relax and let it go; it won’t make a difference at all. Trust me.

Wow ok! Thank you so much! I feel much relieved now. :frowning:
