Mistake in Harvard App


Hi,

long story short, I submitted a CV with a formatting error (one of the bullets is off, not ridiculously but noticeable - about 1 cm). It happened when I converted to pdf in adobe 7 I think, I was careless. I checked all the earlier versions and the newly converted file, but it was the last line of the new document and i clearly scanned too quickly and did not catch it before submitting.

Is there anything I can do? I know HLS does not accept updated cv's, etc.

It's 100% my fault and a very annoying mistake that takes away from my overall application.

thanks if anybody has experience dealing with an error, etc. I have sent an email, but still.

thanks

It is specifically stated on the application web page that there is no way to update or change the information given and the supporting documents that are submitted. Therefore, I personally do not think that there is a way to correct that mistake. However, I don't believe 1 cm would matter that much, I mean it's obvious that it is a small error, so if the content of your CV is satisfying, that error will not bother them.
