<p>I just sent in my application today and I realized I made some mistakes that I forgot to correct after I mailed it out. I've already checked it over hundreds of times before. There were some easy grammar mistakes and tense mistakes. How concerned should I be? Is there anything I can do now? Thanks for the responses.</p>
<p>please help!</p>
<p>that's a toughy... I honestly don't think there's anything you could do now.. sorry</p>
<p>I think you'll be fine. It seems from articles, books etc, that most adcoms spend about 15-20 minutes on an app. They read the essay through and are looking for a general impression of you, they aren't going to scrutinize every little word. Relax and rejoice that it's done.</p>
<p>I would not do it on purpose, but it might actually help. Too many essays have become highly polished and look like they were written by a team. If they do notice the errors, at least they will know it is your essay.</p>
<p>Thanks guys. That's actually really comforting. I was thinking about calling the admissions office on Monday to ask if I can send my corrected essay but.... i don't know.</p>
<p>As long as you get your idea across to the admissions officers, you should be fine.</p>
