I just received my official acceptance letter for a college, and it had my first name spelled wrong. The address, middle and last name where all correct, so I believe that it was just a simple mistake.
Will this cause too much of an issue going forward with that school, or is this an easy fix?
Easy fix. If you accept their offer, email admissions (and maybe the FA office) to make sure it gets corrected.
Thanks for your help. I just wanted to make sure this would not mean too many extra hoops to jump through.
Haha that’s awful, I’m laughing because I am expecting this to happen as I have a pretty outlandfish name myself. Best of luck!
I emailed the college; they gave me information on how to move forward. They said that my name was in their system correctly and it was a typographical error.
Looks like the problem is solved now.
The funniest thing is, is that I have a rather common first name…
Well, this can happen to everyone, like mine is spelled so many times wrong, I often cannot believe that as it is also quite a familiar one. Or on the starbucks mugs - pffffffff.
