Transfer App Mistake

Hello everyone,

So far I have submitted transfer applications to USC, UPenn, Cornell, Boston College, and Babson. All of these apps, except for USC, were sent on 3/15. I have several more schools I am applying to this week, but while I was working on the new applications I realized something. All of the applications that have been sent so far, were sent with a dated resume that addressed Babson in the summary. This mistake occurred because I applied to solely Babson the previous semester, and once you apply you can no longer change many parts of your application.

Am I overreacting or will these schools be off put by this careless mistake of addressing a different school. Should I be contacting them with an updated resume over two weeks past the deadline? What are your thoughts?

This type of stuff happens a lot in the cut-n-paste era. I would definitely correct this. Just send in a new resume and let the schools know that you’ve updated it after finding a typo.
