<p>In an ill-fated effort to completely rush my application and apply early decision for my dream school, Notre Dame, I made several minor mistakes to my application.</p>
<p>I got it in at 11:59, literally 1 minute before it was due.</p>
<p>Now, with these flaws constantly on my mind, I'm wondering if there's anything that can be fixed or addressed in any way.</p>
<p>Mistakes:</p>
<p>-Essay has 2/3 typos.</p>
<p>-Essay has blank page at end (writing = 2 pages, essay = 3) with no writing.</p>
<p>-A few words of my descriptions of activities got cut off </p>
<p>-I checked "PG" on 4 activities, thinking it meant something else....
<em>PROBABLY THE BIGGEST DEAL... WILL THEY THINK I LIED? im still a senior...</em></p>
<p>Can I fix this in any way? Is it worth emailing Notre Dame admissions?</p>
<p>The blank page at the end of the essay is nothing to worry about. The cut-off words happens, so don’t sweat it. The PG looks a tad careless but not a big deal. </p>
<p>I know you don’t want to know this, but …
the typos are a no-no.</p>
<p>You can email your regional admissions officer and indicate that you looked over your application and saw that you hit “PG”, but that you wanted to clarify that you are really a senior. You can also attach a copy of the corrected essay, saying that you wanted the committee to have this copy because it does not contain an empty page. Maybe a secretary will just substitute it in your file and they will never see the one with typos.
Everyone’s activities get cut off. They are used to this. But you could also attach a resume to your email, saying that it is easier to view your activities in resume form.
Good luck!</p>
