<p>I was just uploading a “two-dimensional, scannable image of something that appeals to” me, for Rice, when I realized that Monet’s Lilacs in the Sun are in the Pushkin Gallery, not in the Tretyakov Gallery and that I wrote on my “Favorite things” essay for UChicago that the painting was in the Tretyakov Gallery - oops.</p>

<p>Since I’m originally from Russia, I’ve been to both, and I guess my memory just blurred the two together. Is this going to impact my application at all? I think that it’s a pretty minor thing, but could it be bad?</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure they’ll understand that it was a mistake. I doubt it would prevent you from getting in :)</p>

<p>Considering how esoteric that reference is, unless the person reading your application was an art history or russian studies major, chances are they won’t even realize it.</p>

<p>Funny thing is, the admissions people probably didn’t even know you made a mistake until you posted this thread. Remember, there are UChicago admissions officials roaming this forum. :P</p>
