oops.

So in reviewing one of my secondary applications, I realized that I entered my grades wrong in the pre-requisite section. I guess the auto-fill function got the best of me somehow and I incorrectly entered grades for 2 of the 8 prereq classes.

The secondary pretty clearly states that changes can't be made after submission, but if they cross check it against my transcript they will see the discrepancy.

My pre-req GPA would go from a 3.75 to a 3.875 if they were changed to the correct grades, so I would like to correct them if possible.

I have an interview at the school and I plan on updating them afterwards anyway. Would it be worth is to mention the seconary error in an update letter?
 
I would probably send a quick email and explain that you made a mistake in entry and provide the corrected grades.

^This is probably what I would do as well. You already have an interview so no need for an update letter. Save your updates for the interview itself!
 
Just send a quick correction email now saying you caught the mistake. Probably be nice not to mix that in with actual updates, anyways.
