Mistake on Common App "Weeks" - Applied SCEA

Colleges and Universities A-Z Yale University

<p>I know its too late to change anything obviously, but I realized now that you can check off "School Year" and "Summer" for time of an activity. When I submitted my apps, I did not realize that ability, so I clicked off "school year" but put 39-42 weeks for the length.</p>

<p>Obviously a school year does not have 40 weeks. Is this punishable? Would admissions think I am exaggerating or lying on my activities?</p>

<p>I think you’ll be good. Admissions aren’t that technical about everything :stuck_out_tongue: </p>

<p>They’ll figure it out…</p>

<p>@jhuff11 Most US schools start around sept 1 (Labor Day) and get out after May 31. Therefore, 40 weeks is pretty standard. </p>
