Mistake on common app!

<p>I accidentally said that my parents were "separated" rather than "married" and submitted the application. Now I can't change it!!!! Is this a big deal? Should I be worried and try to contact my colleges to explain the mistake? Even a simple yes or no would help me a lot!!! Thanks! D:</p>

<p>I would try to e-mail your colleges to let them know, it can’t hurt.</p>

<p>It’s not going to affect your admission, so I wouldn’t worry about it. </p>

<p>If you really have to know… You call Admissions at a couple of schools to “help out a friend”… hilarity ensues.</p>

<p>good luck!</p>
