I discovered a typo on transcript...

What do I do if I realize I sent transcripts with a typo?  While printing a transcript I realized I listed his SAT date as 5/2014 instead of 5/2015.  Should I do anything about it?  Will they just realize I goofed up when they receive his scores?  I want to scream!  I proofed this so many times.  I have always had issues with knowing the year b/c of the school year not following the calendar year.  How badly did I screw up.  Should I send an email if he and I were directly communicating with an admissions officer?  Calm me down, someone, please!

Relax!

They will give the transcript a cursory glance to see if the coursework seems reasonable and rigorous. They may not even look closely at the test score on the transcript at all - after all, they receive the test score directly from the College Board. Most likely nobody will notice, and if they do, they will realize what happened. As long as the score itself is correct, I would not give it any second thought.

Send me your invoice and I'll pay you for the therapy!  :) That's what I needed to hear.  For some reason this whole process is making me an insecure glob of jello!

I just ignored my typo and held my breath. No one even seemed to notice (and mine was a typo in the GPA! I corrected it with the midyear transcript I sent in a few weeks ago...).

 

DD did receive one phone call from an honors college when her ACT score on her transcript didn't match the ACT score they had on file. We'd sent the honors college an updated transcript with her newer ACT score - but the university itself hadn't updated her records to reflect the new score - so there was a discrepancy. DD explained why her transcript didn't agree with their on-file test score and they made a note of that. Within a week, the university had updated her records with the new score (that we'd sent to them a couple months before... but she'd already been accepted, so it wasn't a priority to update, I guess).

 

So - I say leave it alone - and if they have a question, they'll ask (as opposed to discarding the application or something drastic)
