<p>Okay so I just sent out my common app and was very nervous as I pressed the "submit" button to all of the schools I am applying to! </p>
<p>As I went back over it after I had already submitted it, I noticed one grammar mistake in the "awards" sections. I put the "National girl's going places award" instead of "girls" WITHOUT the apostrophe and neither I, nor my dad even realized it when looking over my application! That grammar mistake will be seen by ALL of the schools (including a couple ivys I applied to!)</p>
<p>What do I do? Do you think I could get rejected for this? Should I send the college admissions office an email and ask if they would mind fixing it? I'm stressing out here!</p>
<p>Leave it be. One tiny mistake won’t break you. Chances are they won’t even notice it. I think it would be weird to ask them to fix it. That’s just drawing attention to it. Don’t sweat it. Try to forget about it.</p>
<p>I hate to break it to you, but my bet is that if we went over your application with a fine tooth comb we might find a few more typos or grammatical errors as well.</p>
<p>I would say this to virtually any student who has ever submitted an application.</p>
<p>Bottom line – as mistakes go, this is a relatively minor one (and to be honest, may not even be noticed by many admissions officers) – Don’t worry about it.</p>
<p>Haha NO I definitely did not do that! I read too many horror stories about that before I applied. But thank you guys for making me feel better, and good luck to all of you who are applying to college as well!</p>
