a couple of questions

<p>i just went back and checked the status of my application, and have a couple questions</p>

<p>first of all, i took the SAT's in november and sent the scores then.. it has now been 6 weeks, and rochester still hasn't gotten my scores.. every other college has... what am i supposed to do? send them an email? send college board an email? do nothing and hope for the best?</p>

<p>and also.. i reread my short essays, and realized to my dismay that they were a bit overfilled with errors. it's an interesting story actually... when i was doing the app, and had finished it, was uploading my essay, and when i had choosen the file to upload, i clicked "submit" thinking that there would be a confirmation page, from which i could go back to editing my app.. to my immense dismay, it just submitted my application. i never did get to check my short essays.. they're now riddled with careless mistakes..</p>

<p>boy, am i an idiot sometimes..</p>

<p>so, what im wondering is whether or not that will seriously hurt me. it would suck to get rejected just because i was dumb for that one moment.. and also, do they look at stuff like essays when they give scholarships?</p>

<p>Don't be afraid to just call them! They are extremely helpful, especially with the SAT stuff they can tell you what to do with that. Yes, errors in your essay is a problem, but I'm sure you aren't the first to do this. I would call them and ask what you can do about it.</p>

<p>thanks..</p>

<p>i emailed them, and apparently that they're having problems recieving scores from collegeboard and that they're not going to hold it against me. so yay! and keep that in mind, anyone that has similar problems</p>

<p>as for errors. i hope not. they're pretty blatant ones. but come on. i have faith in the strength of my application.. ish.. please?</p>

<p>anyone know how much the application fee is? I couldn't find it anywhere.</p>

<p>if you apply online it's waivered, but i think if you do paper, it's like $50.</p>

<p>yeah, they may be able to let you get back online to fix ur errors up or they may not. depends on what kinda person answers and what mood they're in.</p>
