<p>...and offer I kindly accepted. [should have been an]
...that they the surprise... [accidentally added a the]</p>
<p>should i call to ask them to fix it?</p>
<p>dude. chill. and why would you call them to fix it? bit awk…</p>
<p>Haha, I did the same thing. If anything, they will probably just ignore them. At worst, the will wish we would have been a little bit more careful, but not hold it against us. At best, they will think it is almost cute and more human. However, I am guessing they might just read the sentence over again for clarification. :P</p>
<p>sorry to hijack this thread, but I also had two typos.</p>
<p>I wrote “to” instead of “too” and wrote “that” instead of “than”</p>
<p>how big is this? should I call the schools to clarify/ask to resend? I’ve also heard it makes you look more human…</p>
<p>The “to” one is iffy, because that is a basic rule, but I think you would be okay. Drawing attention to it might make you look…I don’t know, not good. Yay, being oh-so articulate for the win!</p>
<p>well, I got an 800 in writing…</p>
<p>anyone else?</p>
<p>Meh, don’t sweat it. You’re human, you make mistakes. It won’t kill your app.</p>
<p>the thing that annoys me is that it was a really good essay too (although that sounds a bit conceited)</p>
<p>i can’t believe nobody who read it noticed that lol</p>
<p>

<p>I had a to/too typo on my Georgetown essay. Still got in EA.</p>
<p>Typos are not a very big deal.</p>
<p>^ Well then, aren’t you so great! 
But yeah, I concur. If colleges did not want humans, who are fallible, well, then maybe they should not accept their applications.</p>
<p>so, just to clarify, would it be worse if I called the school and asked if I could resubmit it online or through mail?</p>
<p>Forget it. Adcoms are using the essay to learn more about you, and they’re reading it very quickly. They aren’t scrutinizing it for copy editing errors. Adcoms can use your scores and grades to learn about your grammatical skills. Having a couple of errors in your essay may even cause adcoms to assume that you – not a high priced consultant – wrote the essay.</p>
<p>Northstarmom, you are awesome.</p>
<p>so my 800 SAT Writing helps in this case?</p>
<p>You can get an 800 in SAT writing if you make typos…</p>
<p>You’ll just be labeled as the [hopefully] smart kid whom makes typos all the time. Nothing wrong with that.</p>
<p>they probably wont even notice it, people read over typos all the time</p>
<p>yay, this is such a relief. I also found a typo in my essay and I wasn’t sure if I should send in a new version or not. Hopefully, they won’t get too annoyed.</p>
