<p>hey guys... i was reading through my essays today and i noticed two mistakes in my essay for grinnell... one is a missing word and the other is a word that sneaked in :( :( those sentences sound awful!!!! :'(( is there any chance admins will NOT throw out my application :(</p>
<p>yes there is. a typo is not the end of the world, if it comforts you in any way I've noticed some typos in my essays as well.
typos happen. if you get rejected, it won't be because of two mistakes.</p>
<p>I agree. A couple of typos should not sink an otherwise solid app.</p>
<p>grinnell was already my reach :( i am not what you would call a solid applicant. anyways i can do nothing but hope</p>
<p>you could e-mail them with the essay again and be like oops i sent a draft. altho honestly i would definitely not worry about it.</p>
<p>Dun worry...even sample essays published have some typos...AOs won't mind that much</p>
<p>Don't worry too much. Admins know that we're all just people. Typos are bound to happen. I had a HUGE grammatical mistake in my commonapp essay and got into Bard.</p>
<p>Don't worry ... the adcoms are people with human emotions still intact in them. So they understand that students do screw up a couple of times under the pressure. Just relax and enjoy life!</p>
<p>hmmm.... tanx guys... cos from what i read in admins... it sounded lik an r instead of a t can screw ur chances bad.... n my mistakes... well... even i couldnt understand the meaning of those sentences...</p>
