<p>NOOOOOOO I put "subways" instead of "subway" in my Harvard/Amherst supplement. I know it's not major (clam fart) but nooooooooo I can't believe I put subways.</p>
<p>are errors common at all in college essays</p>
<p>Yes, very common.</p>
<p>But a lot less common at top schools. Don’t worry about one “subways” mistake; they won’t kill you for that.</p>
<p>Anyone else have mistakes they regret?</p>
<p>I put “you” instead of “myself”. </p>
<p>“The experience taught me how to be a part of something bigger than you.”</p>
<p>They should still understand it, so oh well.</p>
