<p>Well I think you just kicked Cambridge in the butt.</p>

22

<p>Well, to "be honest" I lifted the example from a website. (;</p>

<p>Thanks guys, reading your responses makes me feel a little better. I'm just going to try and not worry about it anymore. </p>

<p>KGZotu.......former Marine?</p>

<p>Yeah, out in 29 Palms...been out for a couple of years, though.</p>

25

<p>I was stationed at Pendleton. Got out a couple years ago too. Where are you applying to? Happy to be out?</p>

26

<p>Well, I'm trying to get in Berkeley, SD, Davis, and I've got SC just in case.</p>

<p>Yeah, glad to be out. I've got some very fond memories, but I enjoy civilian life more. Just wasn't made to be a lifer, you know how it goes. (;</p>

<p>I see you've got some similar schools. Good luck. (;</p>

<p>wow</p>

<p>i was just so happy to get done with the apps, that i NEVER went back to look at them for typos (or anything, really). i don't see the point at looking back once the essays are submitted. it'll just start playing mind tricks with you...</p>

<p>feuerwerke, I agree. I did the same exact thing you did...once I submitted it I didn't look back.</p>

<p>I can honestly say I tried my absolute best and gave my schooling and app everything I had. I truly gave 100%.</p>

<p>I read a quote just the other day that seemed very fitting (and made me tempted to post it in every "OMG WOT ARE MY CHANCES!!!11!" thread lol):</p>

<p>"When we have done our best, we should await the result in peace."</p>

<p>The only way typos, misspellings or grammatical errors will harm your application is if the errors alter the information you are trying to portray in a way that the reader cannot make sense of the information. Remember we aren’t giving a grade on these statements like instructors grade essays (this is why we don’t call the statement Personal Essay”) we are reading the statement for information; if we can understand the information the statement serves its purpose. Spelling and grammar is still very important since it helps portray the message of the statement in a clearer and shorter fashion.</p>
