Hello, I made a mistake on the common application by incorrectly putting my Mom’s employment. My mom is a house cleaner/maid, but I accidentally put Homemaker and I have already submitted to 5 schools. I thought that homemaker and house cleaner were the same thing. What do I do? Do I email the colleges? I am worried because I am first generation and I have to do this all by myself :(.
This is not a big deal. yes, you can email them and explain in a very short email addendum. Don’t worry. Language differences are inevitable!
@HRSMom Thank you, if you were in my position would you email them? I feel that because I put my mom as a homemaker and we are poor, it makes it seem like my mom doesn’t work.
It is not likely to matter, but it does add context, so yes, I would. Once you know who your regional admissions counsellor is, do let them know. good luck!
