<p>Do you think having grammatical errors, mispelled words etc. in your essays will cost you your admission into a particular UC?</p>
<p>no. First off, the essays are to help you if you are borderline, not bring you down. Secondly, I've seen many successful essays that had numerous grammatical errors.</p>
<p>Good to hear. Not that I've made any grammatical errors in my essays. :eeps: To be honest, I most likely did!</p>
<p>I had at least four typographical errors in my Georgetown essay and I was admitted.</p>
<p>If you find them after submission you can send corrections to: <a href="mailto:datachng@saonet.ucla.edu">datachng@saonet.ucla.edu</a>
I just found this out. You better do it soon though.</p>
<p>Wait, I send the whole essay? Or just the part that has been revised? Do I need to add any other information like my application ID? I need more info please!!! Hey, that rhymed!</p>
<p>Include full name, DOB, App#,and phone#. I sent entire essay with corrections included. Just tell them which essay and that you wish to amend it.</p>
<p>Be careful of your word count constraints though.</p>
<p>Why is it a UCLA affiliated email address?</p>
<p>Okay, I sent it...</p>
<p>yeah why is it a ucla domain? shouldn't it be ucop?</p>
<p>uhh-yeah that is weird.</p>
<p>We will be able to make revisions in January if I'm not mistaken.</p>
<p>I have another question sort of on this topic. Will they look poorly on formatting errors? The last two words of each of my paragraphs refused to have a space between them and when I tried to add one, it just kicked the second word to the next line . It ended up looking something like this:</p>
<pre><code> I want to be a cultural anthropologist because of an amazing experience I had on my trip to mars last year. the martian army was very
</code></pre>
<p>polite.
I hope to someday blah blah blah..................blah....................
blah
blah.</p>
<p>Every paragraph looked like this. Will they penalize me for it?</p>
<p>haha that won't be a big deal peg, they'll understand</p>
<p>gabew42, what kind of revisions? Will we be able to do a complete make-over of our essays? ;) But seriously, where did you hear that from?</p>
<p>If you were too lazy to get your personal statements checked by someone else before you sent it in, you do not deserve to be at UCLA or CAL. PERIOD.</p>
<p>It says when you complete your application that in a month the thing will be up where you can log in and look at your app. It said you will be able to make minor revisions.</p>
<p>Good to hear!</p>
<p>Yeah, I definitely think Pirates got banned!!! No more needless arguments...=)</p>
