<p>can i send in a revised essay to the admissions office? i lost my computer during the storm (power surge) so i had to rewrite all of my essays. I was working on it late last night and I turned it in just barely on time, but I just realized that I accidentally typed in the same line twice on my essay (because I had moved it while editing and I forgot to go back and delete it). would they accept a note and a revised essay?</p>
<p>Send a note to Admissions and ask, explaining the circumstances. I think they will probably say yes, but don’t worry if they say no. There are a few threads around this site that are very reassuring about applications with mistakes and typos, and after reading them and doing research, and getting feedback from people who had turned in applications and essays with typos, I come away with the strong feeling that a typo will not make much of difference in the long run. But definitely send them an e-mail right away.</p>
