I applied for a doctorate programme and got a confirmation email that it was successfully submitted. Later, I realised I omitted some important information in my application that I need to add.

If I am still within the application deadline, can I ask for a withdrawal of my application and then re-apply before the deadline date?

    Why not ask, instead, if you can supplement the original information? It is probably less disruptive. Or, at least, ask them how it is best to proceed. – Buffy Jan 19 '20 at 17:44
  • If the information was important to them, then they should have followed up with you. The fact they accepted it means it probably isn’t that important. But like @Buffy said, ask if you can make a variation (like with ethics applications) rather than withdraw. – Earlien Jan 19 '20 at 22:42
  • @Earlien I doubt any human has seen their application yet. The OP says the admitted important information, not required. – Azor Ahai -him- Jan 20 '20 at 0:35
  • @AzorAhai Fair point, but my advice would be the same - ask if there is any way to edit the application rather than withdraw. I would only submit again if they advised withdrawing and making a new submission. – Earlien Jan 20 '20 at 2:19
  • @Earlien Yes, fair. – Azor Ahai -him- Jan 20 '20 at 2:37
