<p>Hey,</p>

<p>I just sent a common app main essay with the wrong school name to Cornell.
so... what are some steps you guys suggest i should take right now? I've sent an email notifying the Admissions Office.
Help :(</p>

2

<p>Which school did you write?</p>

3

<p>Bu…</p>

4

<p>HAhaha! Your name was funny to start with. And you said bu! hahaha! xD</p>

5

<p>hmm i meant boston university</p>

6

<p>I know I know. but you should type BU instead of bu… it’s just funny xD</p>

7

<p>haha ok so any ideas on what i can do?</p>

8

<p>Pray. If the adcom is a hockey fan you’re screwed.</p>

<p>10char</p>

9

<p>any ideas whether they’ll accept an erratum if i send one?</p>

<p><a href=“mailto:lol@misterpresident”>lol@misterpresident</a>. and <3 because i’m a huge cornell hockey fan</p>

<p>you can call up and see if they’ve even started looking at your app yet, and if not, ask if you can send a new, correct version to them</p>

11

<p>lol theres no way theyve even looked at your app yet, just call when the office opens, ask them if you can replace the essay since you saw a factual mistake in the essay and wanna fix it up.</p>

12

<p>

</p>

<p>HAHA. </p>

<p>As for your situation, no big deal. Apps aren’t even due yet (I don’t think?), so just call them, and arrange to fax in your new essay with the corrected mistake.</p>

13

<p>The apps are due 2nd Jan, but the admissions office only opens on 4th Jan…??? :((((
thanks for all the advice anyway! guess theres nothing i can do about this until the office opens again?</p>

14
