Help - entered wrong grade

I recently got waist-listed at this school and are now starting the AACOMAS application process for next year. I had my old application side by side so that I can enter my course name/number quickly and noticed that in said course "xxxxx I" I put 'A' but in reality I received a 'B'. I did get an 'A' in the second course "xxxxx II" which I believe is why I unintentionally put the wrong grade in as I had mixed the two up. (Note this mistake was done ~year ago)

What should I do? I do not want them to think I lied about my grade and I feel terrible about this. If I called and notified them would they perceive this in a negative way? I really love this school and don't want to heart my chances of getting off the waitlist.

I think hes talking about the school hes waitlisted on so putting the wrong grade for a school thats waitlisted doenst have much to do with aacomas verifying it.

Depends. What were your stats?

They will likely fix it in verification. I don't think anyone is going to think it was purposely done. There a lot of grades to enter and it's a tedious process.

If this is a particular school and the incorrect grade slipped thru the old verification (if I'm reading correctly) or not- whatever the case, I would say email the school regardless and tell them the grade mix up. I think they would appreciate your honesty and at this point, it probably wouldn't affect your WL standing.

Rule 1: Take a Breath

You can call them but it will be fixed in verification and unlikely to cause even a blip. With the nearly 20,000 apps then get, I am sure it happens with frequency

Does each school receive 20k applications by your estimate? Or is that total? Dumb question probably, sorry lol

I believe OP is saying that AACOMAS already verified the application and did not catch the mistake. Therefore the school he/she is wait-listed at has the incorrect grade.

I'm not sure if schools will verify your course grades again one by one after they offer you an acceptance. I think they just look to see if the GPA is similar between your AACOMAS application and the official transcripts you send them at the end. I don't think one grade is a big deal and it sounds like an honest mistake, I would just leave it as it is.
