Transfer Essay Problem

Applying to College Common and Coalition Application
1

<p>I had some technical problems that resulted in rough versions of my essays being sent to a top-tier college via Common Application. I emailed Common App and the college when it happened and they acknowledged the problem. I sent the college the correct essays as Word documents and they said they would attach it to my file.</p>

<p>I called the college up a few weeks later to confirm that the correct essays were included and they were. However, they told me that, while they were able to attach the correct essays, they wouldn't be able to delete the old essays.</p>

<p>I'm a bit nervous now. I don't think that a note was attached on my application explaining the situation and I feel as though the admissions officers might get confused. I feel as though they might read the incorrect versions, look at the correct versions and assume that they're copies and then fail to read them.</p>

<p>I don't want to call up the college again because I don't want to be annoying but does anyone have any thoughts?</p>

<p>Honestly, I think you are over thinking it my friend.</p>

<p>Just think about how many other students this must happen to. I am quite sure the admissions officers are used to this kind of thing and they know what is going on when there is an attached essay to the original essay. </p>

<p>If you want to find out for SURE and sleep better at night, why don’t you just create a fake email address and then email them all your questions (do you guys make a note?) with that fake email.</p>

<p>peace. </p>
