I am in the midst of deep neurosis about my interview the other day and remember saying I still love seeing my grandmother today who inspires me so on and so forth. In my PS I stated my grandparents passed away but these were my paternal grandparents, and I was referring to my maternal grandmother during the interview.

Will adcoms understand there can be two sets of grandparents (this was a recorded interview)? This sounds like a really dumb question, but I'm actually scared they'll think I'm lying because I didn't specify. I was in the heat of the moment so I definitely didn't think of this until now...

Though I think it would be a much more interesting story if you only had two biological grandparents and discussed your genetics.
