what to say to the admission officer when calling.

Applying to College Common and Coalition Application
1

<p>HEY. I can't believe i made this mistake in my apps.</p>

<p>i spelled my first name wrong on all my commonapp applications. I know I need to call the colleges directly, but what should I say? I don't want them to think i'm very careless and think negative about me ( i know, but i double-triple checked. i just didn't check my name. ugh).</p>

<p>How should I phrase it? I'm very nervous in calling them. Any tips? Thank in advance.</p>

<p>How did you manage to consistently misspell your name?</p>

<p>Only once. I meant that I sent one version of my common application to all my schools. I double-triple checked everything. I guess I didn't notice my first name.</p>

<p>I called several schools and they said I have to send an email. They didn't sound too happy.</p>
