<p>I mistakenly typed "mathmatic" on my common app and I've submitted my apps to "every" school on my list. I know this is really stupid but please tell me what I can do to compensate for that. send them another copy of the page via paper?
please please help OMG I'm never gonna get it out of my head.</p>
<p>It is nothing. Do nothing. A spelling error like that on the app does not affect anything.</p>
<p>Actually, it’s a tiny tiny mistake 
Don’t stress over it and don’t bother calling the adcoms. They will probably not even notice it!</p>
<p>Flipping out and doing that would only draw attention to the error. They’re not going to reject you for it. Don’t worry.</p>
<p>I will note, however, that putting quotes around something does not emphasize it. FYI.</p>
<p>Use the search function here and you’ll find the tale of a student who got into some top schools despite accidentally inserting the words “clam fart” into his essays.</p>

<p>He got into Yale. Read it. It’ll provide some hope.</p>
<p>My son had a couple typos in his essay. It seemed like a big deal at the time, but it wasn’t. He got into his dream school.</p>
<p>I agree with the advice to do nothing about this. Pestering a busy admissions office over a very minor typo would seem a little annoying, if not a little neurotic.</p>
