<p>I was rushing and made 3 word choice/grammatical mistakes on Brown's supplement.
My essay was pretty well written though.</p>
<ol>
<li>My curiosity has been FURTHER fueled by brilliant teachers who have allowed me to FURTHER my interest in Biology. <- LOL</li>
<li>Within moments, I noticed an expression of joy on her face as she LIFTED the latest issue of Time magazine. My spirits were LIFTED. (I know, I'm questioning whether I was drunk)</li>
<li>The woman then requested for me open the blinds that were partly shut. (forgot "to" before open)</li>
</ol>
<p>So are these enough to reject me from Brown because I'm on the fence? (2140/4.0)</p>
<p>Woo, my first post…Don’t worry about it. I’m pretty sure it won’t. And for the third one, I wouldn’t have realized that you left out “to” if you hadn’t mentioned it. Their minds will self-correct it, just like what happened to me.</p>
<p>I did the same thing with the third one Trust me, I’ve seen much, much worse mistakes than yours. The overwhelming majority of essays will have typos; a lot of them even slip past professional editors, so I wouldn’t worry about it.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t worry about it. With the third one, I wouldn’t have even known you forgot ‘to’.
I made mistakes on my common app essay, and still got accepted to those schools.</p>
<p>I would’ve noticed the first too. But the third one I mentally substituted it in, didn’t notice it at all. But don’t worry about it, a lot of applications will have tiny typos.</p>
<p>You always catch new typos right after you hit submit, same thing happened to me. It’s just the way it is. Don’t sweat it, they weren’t that noticeable. Good luck</p>
