Lurker here, but I made an account because I am driving myself crazy and could use some advice from people going through the same process.
I feel like I made a detrimental mistake on my application. I am applying for the Germany Study/Research grant, but my application lists a 2-year program instead of a 1-year program. I didn't need to affiliate with a university ahead of time, but my advisor really pushed me last minute to go ahead and talk about a program I would like to attend in my application. I have no idea how I made such a terrible mistake, or how it got past me and my advisors, but is that going to auto-ding me from being a recipient? I don't actually care if I can't attend that particular program, so it's going to be devastating if I am rejected because of that.
It is such an embarrassing mistake and it's so glaring now that I realize. The only explanation I can give is that it was the middle of my midterms in law school and my brain was just mush. I have been driving myself crazy obsessing over this mistake, especially if it's enough to reject my application because of an incompatible program.
I just wish there were a way to reach out and tell the committee that it was a mistake and not the only program I would consider attending. Has anyone heard of someone doing this or is that a step too far? Any chance this isn't as big of a deal as I think it is? Anyone else going through something similar or was everyone put-together enough not to send a mistake on their Fulbright application?
