<p>Haha that is a funny line.</p>

<p>I’m worried I made a similar stupid grammar mistake in my application essay for ed…</p>

3

<p>Well, the example all colleges seem to use (Yale, NYU, Tufts) is an applicant who wrote about “torturing 3rd graders” instead of “tutoring 3rd graders”.</p>

<p>I was surprised so many colleges got the same essay, so I guess it was a real person.</p>

<p>I guess I should add this too:</p>

<p>Don’t worry, she got in.</p>

<p>I’ve also heard “volunteering as a candy stripper” instead of “striper” </p>

<p>and of course, “this is why i want to go to Harvard” on a Yale app.</p>

6

<p>Wow… today I submitted my app for U of Maryland, and I was freaking out over accidentally saying “crushed or rival” instead of “crushed our rival.” They wouldn’t reject me just for THAT, right?</p>

7

<p>Hahaha doubtful.</p>

8

<p>I didn’t see any typos when I checked mine, but I have a disturbing feeling that I made one somewhere…</p>

<p>The clam fart thread is so funny. That is the first time I have actually laughed out loud reading a post</p>

10

<p>I am so proofreading my essays again.
Lol, it’s only funny when it happens to other people!</p>

<p>I know this thread is kinda old, but this is still funny:</p>

<p>[How</a> High Schoolers Imagine the College Admissions Process - YouTube](<a href=“How High Schoolers Imagine the College Admissions Process - YouTube”>How High Schoolers Imagine the College Admissions Process - YouTube)</p>

<p>Also, I almost sent a short “Why College” essay to College Y starting with the sentence “These are the reasons I am attracted to College X.” Luckily, I saw and fixed it.</p>

12

<p>Gosh, these threads are hilarious. I love the video when the guys like “Asian SAT cutoff…”</p>

13

<p>I’m glad this was brought up… Also glad colleges don’t automatically won’t admit you if there is a little grammar mistake, or a mistake such as the ones thave been brought up.</p>
