Hey everyone,
Wishing everyone the bet of luck next week
I need some advice, I made a stupid mistake in my second Booth essay and don't know if I should contact admissions. I forgot to delete a word from my essay. I was given an example of a recent camping trip for the essay and wrote camping canoeing trip, but meant to delete the word canoeing but didn't.
I know its a dumb problem but I really would appreciate any advice.
Should I contact admissions or might I get a pass from them on that?
I've always heard advice that small mistakes like this are very likely to be overlooked by adcoms given that they would only spend 10-20 minutes on your whole app. They will however notice if you call it out. I've also heard that they don't appreciate corrections or additions after the deadline, as it was a deadline for everyone and they may simply ignore your request.
Realistically though, its more likely than not that they would have already seen your app, and won't be revisiting it for a single word - likewise, including 'canoeing' even if its out of place won't make or break your app. So I'd leave it alone if it were me.
