<p>So I kind of freaked a little when my essay wouldn't upload for twenty minutes and never really read over my app before I pressed the evil submit button... </p>
<p>big no-no, I'm aware...</p>
<p>and I totally misspelled not only the author's last name on one of my fave books, but also left a word out of the title. </p>
<p>Anything I can do? At all? ugh, this sucks.</p>
<p>how badly did you misspell it? really, i don't think you should worry too much about it...im sure the adcoms know that online apps can be tricky</p>
<p>Ugh, I totally left out the Lot in The Crying of Lot 49.</p>
<p>Plus, I put Thomas Pynchon as Pinchon, something I def. knew, so it wasn't even because I didn't know any better. Oi, the online app is rough.</p>
<p>don't fret, I left out an important verb in one of my princeton essays. hopefully the adcoms can use context clues. besides, things that insignificant don't make a difference. it's all out of our hands now!</p>

which should be very relieving. now the interview!</p>
<p>i didnt list the authors of my books.. for space reasons. is that bad?</p>
<p>I didn't either</p>
<p>phewf! btw, the online app is the worst organized/set up app ever! the whole things with the lines that only allow like 75 characters and so on... those were the bane of my existence! when you guys print previewed did you notice that it looks like you didn't fill up the full line on the paper, but you used all the space you had on the site?</p>
<p>yea the whole thing was so annoying. id be in the middle of a sentence and get cut off and then have to delete what i started and go to the next line. they should work on it so you type your answers in one big text box instead of random lines that all accept different numbers of characters. but oh well, i guess thats just another one of the many annoying things that you have to deal with to get into college.</p>
<p>i spelt hemingway wrong, but caught it.</p>
<p>I think it was a filtering system to make sure that only the most perseverant of students applied to Columbia.</p>
<p>Haha... never thought of that</p>
