This made my one month internship to one year.

While in the reason for leaving; I have mentioned that it was a summer internship and had to end the internship because I had to resume college.

But I am still worried that this could seem like misleading into thinking that I have 1 year internship.

Also, I assumed we only had to mention extra-curricular achievements and didn’t realize I could write that I had “Rank 2 in my course in college” as an achievement.

Should I write to the admission team regarding this? Especially about the typo in the year since it won’t look good to ask them to add an achievement but it surely would look bad if it seems that I mislead them into thinking I had done a 1 year internship.
