I'm such an idiot.

What can I do about it now?

By the way, they were some errors in the extracurricular stuff. Like I left out some hours and •••• like that.

Was the deadline the 31st or the 1st?

If it was the first, if you print out a copy, fix the error and drop it in the mail by pick-up-mail time on the 1st, they'll replace the online app with the one you send. I did that for stanford's app, and they said it was no problem.

write or call the Admissions Office, and explain it to them. be sure to give them all your identifying information, they might not change your actual application but they'll probably make a note on it.

Why did you guys wait until the last nano seconds to submit your application?

Sorry to sound naggin' and it aint my business, but why didn't you guys send it during x-mas break ? You had 10 days right? (or technically 2 monthes)

because i'm a bigass procrastinator. i know i should change.

so just write them then?

write them. I did the same thing for my early decision app and they had no problem. just mail in a copy of that page with the correction on it... but you might want to email/call them and let them know it's coming
