Good morning,
I'm a new applicant, and I just realized I made a small mistake for the extracurricular activities I updated on my ADEA application.
It asks for the number of approximate week of involvement for the particular club activity, and I have no idea how I messed it up. I could have sworn I put down the right number.
I called ADEA and they said I would have to just add in a new experience and put in the same one with the right number of weeks this time. I was just wondering if anyone has experienced the same thing before I add a duplicate. I'm just a bit worried schools might be confused because now it's a duplicate.

Thanks,

Would it be a big look down upon?

Hi there, did you end up adding a duplicate experience? If so did you follow up with each school after/receive any interviews? I’m in a similar boat except I was adding a new experience for an application update & I saved it without finishing the description (little did I know they would be permanently saved without the ability to edit). I’ve already added a duplicate experience since that was basically the only option I had - I’m just debating whether it’s necessary to email each school individually
 
Hey I made a same mistake this year...did any one of you guys ever get in contact with schools individually? How did you guys do it?
