<p>I recently applied early decision to the University of Richmond. I realized right after I sent my application that I forgot to fix a typo in my common app essay, so I emailed my admissions representative at Richmond. He took my edited version. I noticed today that my Richmond supplement was an earlier draft. I emailed the rep again and asked if I could send in my final draft. I feel like I have screwed up my chance to go to my dream school. I am devastated. How screwed am I?</p>
<p>This year there are so many issues with the common app that your problems are minor and really should have no effect on your admissions decision. </p>
<p>Do keep your communications with your admissions rep concise and use each contact as an opportunity to show your voice a little (be likable!). But, don’t worry about this at all. </p>
<p>Congrats on finishing your ED application. You can enjoy senior year for a while now.</p>
<p>Don’t sweat this. First and foremost, its in the past. </p>
<p>Its common for schools to get a lot of churn like this, and often the people who handle this are not the ones making the decision on admission. Even if they were they would likely dismiss it as admission jitters. Its the content of your app that will (or wont) get you in.</p>
