Brown made a boo boo

<p>Has anyone else noticed that Brown misspelled the major “commerce organizations and entrepreneurship” (as “entreprepeneurship”) on their application? It’s pretty hilarious. I kind of lost respect for them.</p>

<p>You lost respect for Brown for a typo?</p>

<p>I've seen typos on official documents at all levels. It happens.</p>

<p>Hmm. I didn't know that. I thought my hopes for getting accepted were lost because I mis-typed my ACT English/Writing combined score as a 33 rather than a 32. Guess they don't have grounds for rejecting me because of that now do they, considering the fact that they made a bigger mistake themselves? lol. Good.</p>

<p>A single typo is never going to be a deal breaker for admissions. </p>

<p>Did you honestly expect that Brown, run by humans, would never have typos, though?</p>

<p>I've seen typos on half my applications.</p>

<p>Considering they put "entrepeneurship", and not "entreprepeneurship", as you said, you made a typo yourself.</p>

<p>lol? It's not a big deal, I don't hate you for it. Why hate them?</p>

<p>I'm glad you don't hate me (above).
I never said I HATED Brown. After all, I AM applying there. I just hadn't seen a mistake like that before on any of my other applications, so it caught me off-guard. I recognize that they are humans, but they're a group of humans that represent a renowned university. In all truth, there's a difference between my making a mistake and their making a mistake. </p>

<p>Nevertheless, I still LIKE Brown, and I certainly don't hold a GRUDGE against them. And I apologize for and DETRACT the "loss of respect" statement. That was a little histrionic/hyperbolic on my part. </p>

<p><em>Cough</em> Anyways...</p>

<p>cornell misspelled mathematical on their supplement</p>

<p>Cornell and Brown did not make these mistakes. People working there did. I'm sure as students we'd all prefer if colleges spent money on us rather than world class secretaries.</p>

<p>It's kind of nice, shows that they're human and also make mistakes. Yeah I noticed a typo for the Part I introduction I think, but didn't pay too much attention to it because I was making sure that MY essays didn't have any typos. xD</p>

<p>lol, xerxes300, you're a little bit of a mess.</p>

<p>I think it's kind of cute. and if you say the typo out loud it's really funny.</p>

<p>Yes, I know I'm a mess.. but a HOT one at that.</p>

<p>O and I realized I made another typo even though my dad and everyone looked over my application. Apparently I think unparalleled is spelled unparalled. Wow, this is super ironic and kind of funny in a sick and twisted way!!!! This is pretty much the best thread ever, people!!!!</p>

<p>OH no biggie, I had about 3 typos in my Michigan essays. Meh.</p>

<p>lol... on the "what are your academic interests" essay, someone should have written:</p>

<p>At Brown, I want to major in commermerce orgreganizations and entreprepeneurship.</p>

<p>Yeah, and under awards: Nationel Speeling Bea Champoin!</p>
