<p>On my Northwestern supplement, the one asking about the unique qualities of Northwestern, I called its biomedical engineering program bioCHEMICAL engineering. I only used the term once. The two fields are similar, but not altogether the same. How bad of a mistake is this?Will it break my application??</p>
<p>I think they will look at it more as what you want to do than ignorance of their program. There is probably something biochemically oriented about the biomedical program, and you not used it once so they should figure it out.</p>
