Hi guys, i am a kellogg admit this year. I just found out that my bonus filled in application was wrong. Like it should be 5000 usd, but I typed 50000 usd. Just a typo. the base salary was accurate. Should I contact the school now ? I am in the process of background check....

And how do they conduct this background check? Do they contact the recommendor which we mentioned while filling out the app or the HR of the company?
Your HR or manager will get a document with the basic information that you filled out and a column next to it for any corrections based on your company records. If they find and discrepancies, they will contact you for reasoning and additional verification

They validated every single thing mentioned in my LoR. They basically checked the achievements and claims made in my application.
How? By calling your Recommenders ?

I believe chances are getting slim, but it can still come in. I’ve read that up until a couple days prior to the 25th you can still get one
