So I submitted my common app today for three schools and I just realized that I have put 15 hours as my work per week in my activities list but 20 on my essay. Is this difference ok or should I call and notify the schools of the error? its giving me huge stress
The general consensus is that when your hours vary by such a small amount, there’s no need to worry. However, you seem to have a special circumstance, as you reported a different hour count in your activities than in your essay.
Which number is accurate? If it’s the 20, you’re fine. If it’s 15, I still don’t think this is any problem. If it makes you feel better, you could always pick up the phone and notify the schools of the small error. That’s what I would do, but I would see what other CC posters say.
