<p>It’s better not to try to find mistakes now. When I saw mine, it was literally the only thing I could think of. It ate away at me until decision day. At one point I had convinced myself I wasn’t going to get in because of it. I ended up being wrong, thankfully, but I would have much rather not had that on my conscience.</p>
<p>I just realized after reading WLSilver’s post that I didn’t put the Credit values after my classes on the Common App :S I’m not even sure how much credit my classes carry, since my school uses the IB grading scale and we always talk about our IB grades (I’m doing the full diploma) and never our HS credit. This was probably included in my Counselor report though, so do you think it’s alright that I didn’t write it?</p>
<p>it should be in the counselor report, so your fine. I know a bunch of my friends that didn’t do that either.</p>
<p>oh, for mine, I put for my CA app that I was born in 1933 and not 1993, so I had to contact all the colleges to fix it…and it was very frustrating figuring out why I couldn’t create my Eli account where I needed my birthday access it once they sent me my access code.
oh well, I’m sure they would have realized that I’m not 78 years old</p>
<p>That’s pretty cool…</p>
<p>i sent my horrifying sat 2 scores even though i only had to send the act. ■■■.</p>
<p>Yes, Lola122. They’re obviously very forgiving … of many things. Vanity, for instance.</p>
<p>they understand our troubles :P</p>
<p>Guys, I just realized I made a typo when self-reporting my SAT SCORES (I swear I typed 680 but I looked at my common app today and it says 780!?!?) So either they will realize it was a typo or they’ll think I was trying to lie to them to make myself look better. I did this for every college I’m sending the commonapp to, and I did NOT do that on purpose. WHAT NOW!?!?</p>
<p>Mailing them is probably best…</p>
<p>I had a TERRIBAD typo in one of my columbia supplemental essays. It basically rendered the entire sentence unintelligible. When I saw the typo, I cried for like, 3 hours and then started filling out my RD applications because I thought there was NO WAY I would be getting in…</p>
<p>Turns out that the adcom is forgiving when it comes to typos =]</p>
<p>Terribad? lol</p>
<p>yeah, because it wasn’t just terrible; it wasn’t just bad.</p>
<p>it was terribad. :P</p>
<p>are you sure it was terribad? it might have been…SUPERBAD! lol jk</p>
<p>Well played…</p>
<p>I spelled “children’s” wrong (chldren’s) in “children’s choir”. And it was underlined in red and everything -___-.</p>
