Could this affect me?

<p>I’ve been accepted ED to a college earlier this year in the Early Decision round.</p>

<p>But, recently I sent a query to a two people of the same college regarding an issue. One of the query was replied stating: ‘You sent the same query to two of us. In the future, please do not send duplicate messages. It creates more work for me and other members of the College’s staff.’</p>

<p>Do you think that my acceptance can be rescinded for this reason? Will this affect me? I know it might sound a joke but I’m really worried. I sent a reply to them saying sorry and assuring them that this won’t happen ever again. Will this work?</p>

<p>Don’t worry about this. They just want you to know that you don’t need to ask more than one person. In the future, send your questions to one person and you should be fine.</p>

<p>Sounds like you handled things well. Don’t stress and congrats! Be careful about your future messaging. Folks ARE very busy.</p>

<p>Thank you very much. :slight_smile: So I shouldn’t be too worried about this…right? And yeah, I should be careful in future.</p>

<p>Pokhara - you can minimize this sort of thing by including in your inquiry something like “I didn’t know which of you was the right one to send this question to, so on advice of my GC I sent it to both.” When you’re older and working for a living you’ll discover how annoying it is for a customer/client to “shop” for the answer they’re looking for … it’s a standard technique for some people, unfortunately.</p>
