It should be fine. I pulled one of the biggest application "what not to dos" EVER (seriously, it's in every single interview with an admissions dean EVER as a "DO NOT DO THIS" example) and was still accepted to the school. A tiny formatting error like that is no big deal; I wouldn't worry about it if I were you!JJDancer wrote:Finally. I have my very own "gaah!!" moment.
One of the bullets on my resume starts halfway into the page (HEAVILY indented).
In the long run it shouldn't matter (right?) but it still makes me cringe.
I really wouldn't do this. Formatting errors, like gdane said, happen all the time. Tons of people make mistakes on their apps and still get into top schools. This is a really silly thing to send an amended resume for.gdane5 wrote:Its probably not a big deal. Formatting errors occur all the time. Dont worry about it.
If it bugs you this much, inform them that you would like to send an updated resume.
Good luck!
Yeah, I had a similar formatting error on 3 of my apps. "xxx'x" turned into "xxx?x". I emailed them about the error and they updated my file, and I still got into all the schools. So don't worry about it. It won't help you, but it's not going to break you.eskimo wrote:It should be fine.
