What do do??

Apparently in my addendum I said my GPA for the first two years was a 2.92 when in reality it was a 3.15...
Am I screwed?? Will they check and calculate the GPAs?? What do I do??

You can email schools with an edited version and request that they update it. Or you could just do nothing and hope they don't notice or that if they notice it won't change anything.

I have no answer for you...but the same thing happened to me. Except to a lesser degree. I accidently put that my GPA was 3.62 instead of 3.64. Meh.

I just sent all schools I applied an email apologizing and asking them to correct the mistake...

FML

anyways, at least I didn't apply to Penn, G-Town, and Columbia yet...

You're f'ed. Not because of your addendum, but because you are going to law school.

Oh, so it's okay...

MTal's a douche, but where did that come from?

anyways, we're way off topic now... any ideas on how much this will hurt me??

Hey MTal. It's easy to be a douche on the internet when you're anonymous and don't really have to say things to a person's face, isn't it?

For MTal, I have a feeling it's just as easy to be a douche in real life.

OP: You did the right thing by contacting the schools. Mistakes happen, and having a minor screwup on an addendum is not nearly as severe as making an error on your personal statement.

If you do get dinged, I give you 100,000 to 1 odds it wasn't because of one little typo on your GPA addendum.

You're one of more than 5000+ applications. They won't remember unless you make a big deal about it, so don't make a big deal about it.

Yeah I sent emails notifying the admissions committees of the schools that I applied. Most of them have replied so far saying that they are thankful of notifying them of the mistake... everythings fine i guess then
