I was in the process of submitting my common app to schools when I noticed that I accidentally put the same year for my mom graduating both grad school and her undergrad. I fixed it, so it will be correct for the schools that I’m yet to click submit for. But for the schools that I’ve already submitted my application to, will this affect me negatively? Should I email the school and let them know, or is it not that big of a deal?
Not a big deal. I would not fix that, I can’t think of anything less important on the common app. It will likely go unnoticed or if noticed, not concerned about. They may think she was really efficient.
