  There’s no universal answer because it depends on how any given school would or wouldn’t change their application process due to receiving a new addenda. If they had already begun reviewing your app I don’t see why they would start over. But if they hadn’t, maybe they would put you further back in the pile? Maybe not? I’m not sure.

  Moreover, I think we all get anxious wondering when we will hear back, but the important thing to remember is that it doesn’t matter. I mean, it’s not a question about whether to do X or Y. Something has already been done, so it is best to accept the uncertainty, and not worry about whether it slightly delays your app or not.

  If it gives you a peace of mind though, I think even if it does delay your application by a tiny amount (we’re talking less than 3 weeks here at most, if they literally sent you to the back of the pile), it should have a negligible effect on your chance of admission.

  I don't think it would. Or if it did, not by much.
