<p>I messed up today by uploading the parent statement for my daughter into my son's SSAT application. I called them right away and they told me to email about it...haven't heard back yet. I did contact the schools as well.</p>
<p>Anyone else make any mistakes during the application process? I feel as though I ought to reassure the schools that my kids are smarter than me!</p>
<p>LOL 
The mom who can’t tell the boy from the girl.
Rest assured there are plenty of parental snafus.
I made several last year but I can’t remember them now. Forgetfulness helps me to survive the shame.</p>
<p>Oh, it’s all coming back to me now. Much too late one night a year ago, I was emailing my daughter’s music files to the schools, and of course I sent them individually with a short email note tailored to the school. As soon as I hit “send” to School Y, I realized that the note gushed about how I thought my kid would be a great fit at School X. Oy! I was mortified, and immediately emailed the AO to apologize for my inexcusably careless mistake. She responded instantly – and said “No worries, I promise! Really, this stuff happens ALL THE TIME.” I didn’t believe her, really – but my kid was accepted, so it guess it wasn’t that big of a deal. ;)</p>
<p>My mom has cried in 2 of 5 interviews! But I love her anyway. :D</p>

<p>Your case much better. My friend’s son had the same case. The only difference was it was the student that sent it that way, not parent. Sigh…</p>
<p>He was accepted anyway and went on to the Ivy school this year. His high school adviser made sure he would not repeat the same mistake. So funny.</p>
<p>Still laughing at “Ruh roh!”</p>
<p>Well, at least I haven’t cried in any interviews yet. (I’ve come close.) Good to know I’m not alone…while I still remember this. :-)</p>
<p>I still think the bleeding story wins the prize. Try not to bleed all over the AO’s desk is just good, solid advice.</p>
<p>Agreed. Definitely trying to avoid that one. :-)</p>
