<p>On my application for Columbia (and Stanford and Yale), I said "wrapped around comfortingly around me" - there's an extra "around" there. Will they see this and ditch me at once? Or do I still have the tiniest of a chance? I feel terrible, I think I just clicked and copied the word with my mouse and didn't catch it. Thanks!!</p>
<p>Actually, it could be read that you just left out a comma. “wrapped around, comfortably around me”. I can’t imagine this would cost you an addmission. The rest of your app will hold much more weight than this tiny piece. Dont waste time worrying.</p>
<p>okay. That makes me feel a little bit less sick (: . Thanks.</p>
<p>If they were to ditch your essay on that single mistake on your essay, I think none of us should be applying there.</p>
