I've had my answer cut off - consequences?

Hi there people,

In submitting my application, I felt the need to edit my short extracurricular essay on the webpage. However my editing was too long and cut a bit off the bottom, so I changed it back to the original, though I forgot to re-insert what was cut off from the bottom! Without realising there was a problem I submitted it, and now my final word is missing! It reads, "... and to be an inspirational" When it was mean to read, "... to be an inspirational example."

What do you think the effect off this will be? Will admission boards marks as a rubbish answer, or will they perhaps realise a mistake has happened?

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks.

OH!! I don't think you should be too worried, I'm sure they'll realize it was just a mistake! I assume they're smart enough to know that. They'll probably realize that you were nervous and just didn't realize it had been cut off. No worries! Good luck with school!

:)

Right, so i emailed all the colleges i'm applying to about my unfortunate mishap, and they have all been really receptive about the situation and have accepted a correct copy which i emailed them. So, if anyone finds themselves in the gut-wrenching situation i was in, fear not! I imagine most college are used to such mistakes and are more than willing to receive corrected application material.

Haha, thanks for the reassurance. I just made the same mistake, and I'm glad to know that they're receptive about it! I'll get right on mailing them the new copies.
