Two Typos on Submitted Application! Call or Let it go?

[coffee cup]

I just re-read my submitted online app and discovered two typos I thought I corrected- minor GPA typo and year typo in volunteer start date. Im freaking out. Should I call admissions to correct when they open tomorrow? Thanks for your advice.

Hi coffee cup,

Personally, I'd call. But that's just me. Maybe it wouldn't change anything, but I'd try.

Good luck! :-)

When was the deadline for the application? If the deadline was back in December and they're making admissions decisions right now, then I'd let it go. If the deadline just passed or is upcoming, then yes, I would call. Sometimes the graduate school itself can't change online applications, but sometimes the departmental administrator can put a note in your file. 

 

Don't stress too much! My writing sample was absolutely littered with typos. Once I realized my mistake, I called each department to have them switch out the writing samples, and guess what, I still managed to get into 5 places! (And I kept finding more typos even after I'd switched out the samples, too... there were easily seven or eight altogether.)

Thanks, girlscoutcookies and 2015hopeful! I'm so grateful for your opinions and support- I feel much better about it now. The deadline is March 1.  I'll call in the AM.
