Frustration with typos..help needed..

Applying to College
1

Hey guys…

I’ve tormented myself with this situation and have beat myself up. My OCD and anxiety is getting to me pretty bad, in fact… :frowning:

Over the past few weeks, I noticed 4 mistakes on my application. (3 typos; the other was an AP self-report issue). I’ve already sent out 2 application update/correction PDF’s to Emory regarding the self-report issue and 1 typo. Since there are 2 typos left, I thought, maybe I should report these too. (better to correct all errors if I wanna submit an error update?) but If I do this, I’ll have like a third PDF attached to my file… what do I do…? Emory is a DREAM for me… I knew I had the right stats for a good shot but now, I’m so hopeless. I know that some (maybe most) will see this as a minor issue. But I’m just really trying my best to solve this out. Please help! Should I leave the issue as it stands, or send a final application update?

The 3 typos: 2 included a left out letter, 1 was a wrong acronym for a club name.

Right now, I’m constantly beating myself up, telling myself that I’m so dumb for making careless mistakes like these.

Relax… you’re going to be perfectly fine. Don’t contact the college about these typos. They don’t harm your application one bit, but excessively nagging the admissions officers will. I know it’s hard, but just try to relax, have fun, and enjoy your last year of high school. I’m sure you’ll have great options to choose from in May, probably including Emory!
