Typo!

Hey guys! This is my first post on College Confidential. I was hoping you guys could help me out with something. I was getting ready to submit one of my applications on Common App, and came to find that in the activity section, I misspelled “customer” as “costumer”. I’m…incredibly embarrassed. Disregarding the fact that I’m in panic mode, do you guys have any suggestions as to what I should do? I already changed the mistake but it’s one I noticed after submitting to several schools already (USC, UMich, BostonU). Should I email these schools? Any advice is helpful. Thanks!

If it was October 31 or if you were applying to study theatre & costume design, it would be fine. Unfortunately, once submitted, I would just let it go as it is a minor mistake.

@Publisher Ok! Thank you! I’m sure typos are common mistakes. Do you know if having just one is detrimental to an application? Appreciate the response!

I agree. Don’t worry about it. Don’t email for such a small mistake.

@chercheur Ok! Thank you! Greatly appreciate it.
