Aaron C-T Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 I fudged up my SVA application somewhat. Apparently I somehow managed to overwrite my SVA Letter of Intent with the Letter of Intent intended for College for Creative Studies. Technically they were all the same with the only changes being to the program and college name, save for SCAD which required a 2-page letter as opposed to simply a 500-word essay which makes it quite different. Long story short: the version I sumbitted, electronically mind you, specifically says CCS as opposed to SVA. Not exactly sure what I should do. First of all, it's Christmas Eve and I doubt they're checking their email and even if they were what would I say? "I want to attend your fine school, but I'm an idiot whose already screwed up and I'm not even there yet!" Sure, it's probably happened a number of times but that just means I'm a Generic Idiot . Also, if I do get some sort of response and they allow me to like.. email them or something I can't just send the original as it will be obvious that the only change is the college name. Meaning massive editing would be in store. Is it worth the email anyway, or is it a minor accident that won't matter much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epon Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 I'd take the time to rewrite the entire letter. This way when you resubmit it, they'll recognize you're serious and also planning on blowing your cash elsewhere, thus motevation for them to chase you.

wesker Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 SVA requires letters of intent? They have ad's all over the subway. Resend it or rewrite it, I don't think it will make much of a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron C-T Posted December 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 I suppose I'll rewrite it tomorrow then and send it to the admissions email.. although.. I'm not sure if it's automated or if they actually read the stuff that is sent through there. I dunno.. I would think there'd be a way to simply edit it since it's sent electronically and whatnot, but apparently not. =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chao Helper Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 That's a s***. I hate overlooked errors in written papers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRPXQZME Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 It's people that end up looking at what you send, not computers. If it gets sent by you to them and it's not an electronic form that blocks you out from doing it, it gets to them if they haven't looked at it yet. In fact, most university admissions departments as far as I know keep pretty much everything you send in one folder in a filing cabinet (sometimes even printed-out email) and take the folder out when it's review time. Just rewrite it, and re-send. Remember, these people have to deal with plenty of ass-clowns, just make it clear you're not a bozo, they know you're a person.
