Will this affect my chances??

Applying to College
1

Hi all,
I sent in my application to Rutgers New Brunswick last night, however, after submitting the app I realized that I entered my GPA wrong. My actual GPA is a 4.53, but it turns out I accidentally entered it as a 4.55. I immediately emailed the admissions office to let them know about my mistake and am waiting to hear back from them. My question is: will this affect my chances at getting in? Will they view me as dishonest or recognize this as just a simple mistake?

Thanks!

P.S. I also had to fill out a separate SRAR for Rutgers and I made sure to provide the correct GPA on there!

@ProfSquidward I think you will be fine. You contacted the admissions counselor to let them know about the typo… not much more to do. Your official transcript will have the proper GPA so I don’t think your typo will hurt your chances.
