I sent an application update email to the admissions officer at Northeastern University, but I mentioned UVA 2-3 times throughout the email.
His response started with “I don’t work at UVA but you’re set for Northeastern.”
I apologized in my reply but should I be worried at all? Will this affect my application at all?
Thanks everyone
(I understand there are similar existing posts but I haven’t found anything posted recently so I can’t help but be a little bit uneasy!!)
It’s not ideal, but there probably isn’t anything more you can do. Just make sure to proofread very carefully from now on. Good luck!
Since Northeastern is slightly more selective than UVA, it won’t matter. Now if you put Princeton instead of UVA, then that is another story.
Just kidding. I think this happens all the time. I would not worry about it.
Relatively frequent problem. Colleges shrug it off. Don’t worry.
Read this and relax
The clam fart thread is one of the best, and definitely the funniest on this board!
My D once got a weird email from an Ivy coach. She intended to forward it to me with a snarky comment, and instead sent her critical remark to the coach! It was mortifying. These things happen. Don’t beat yourself up.
