<p>ahhhhh i feel SO stupid. my personal statement was about my dad and our nightly dinners. on it i briefly talked about how i reacted to one of his nightly rants and mentioned an amendment. i said the amendment, scripted by his heroes, was ratified in 1788. which is wrong!! it’s 1791. the constitution was ratified in 1788 and i stupidly assumed that since some of the states didn’t ratify the constitution until a bill of rights was added, that the bill of rights would be 1788 also. gahhhhhhhhhh. what should i do? resend the essay by mail? do you think they will notice? it’s not like my essay was about history or anything, more about my relationship with my father but still ): i changed it before i sent it to the rest of the schools on my list, but still i sent this to ivy league schools. please help me. any and all advice welcome.</p>
<p>You can always contact the school and make them aware of the issue. They may also ask you to email them the corrected essay.</p>
<p>Good Luck</p>
<p>thanks td2belt, do you think they would notice? i hear they only spend about 5-10 minutes per application… so unless they knew the date the 8th amendment was ratified off the top of their head? but if they doooo ahhh. im so mad at myself.</p>
<p>Mail them the new document, theyll add it to their files without having to read/after deleting the new one. Probably. So hurry :)</p>
