Wrong Information in Grad School Application

[YolandaLi]

Hi all,

     I got something typed wrong with my graduate school's application (not in inconsistency with my supplementary material: CV) by mistake. Is it fatal and will it reduce the chance to be admitted? 

 

Thanks!

depends on what it is -- I accidentally entered my birth date backwards for one school (American vs European system) and the school just emailed me like "hey, I noticed your birth date is backwards on your application compared to your transcript, which one is correct?" and it seems to be fine. I would just email them and say you mistyped it, I don't think most places will consider that anything more than human error.
