What should I do if I realized i accidently Put false information on college app?

Applying to College

<p>I just randomly had an epiphany that I accidentlly might have put false infromation on a college app by saying I got 6th place in a speech category....but it might seem like I got 6th place in that speech category for the state? (does it seem like that?) I did get 6th place in a speech category but it was for just one tournament during the speech season. I already got accepted to a college accidently putting that and i submitted 4 other colleges on common app with that "false"information.</p>

<p>Should I email the colleges and ask them to change it? Or what should i do? I"m freaking out like crazy rigth now.</p>

<p>Talk to your GC. They’ll know the answer as to how to handle this better than anyone on CC ever could. They might even handle it for you.</p>

<p>It’ll probably need to be cleaned up, just to make sure everything is clear, but in the end, it’s probably no big deal.</p>

<p>Did you say you got 6th place in a state competition? If yes, then send a short email to the admissions offices noting the correction. If you just said 6th place and did not say it was a state competition, then I wouldn’t even worry about it, unless there’s something about what you said that would be misleading.</p>

<p>If you decide to make a correction, your email should read something like this:</p>

<p>Please note the following correction to the information listed on my application under “Extracurricular Activities”: My 6th place award for Speech was at the local Big City High School tournament. Thank you.</p>

<p>That’s it - nothing else is needed.</p>

<p>That isn’t false or misleading at all. No need to worry about it.</p>
