<p>I just re-read one of my essays for the billionth time and found a grammar mistake. I said "creativity and emotion rushes" instead of rush... this might sound petty to some of you, but I sent this essay to Cornell, Brown, and UVA. In the rest of the essay the grammar is fine and this is the only mistake I found. Will they notice? Could I get rejected because of the grammar mistake? Should I send a letter with the new essay? This just seems like one of the things I can control, my essays, and I didn't want to mess that up. PLEASE HELP</p>
<p>They'll notice, yes. Will they care? Probably not. Everybody makes typos. If the essay is otherwise original, well-written, and passionate, that mistake will be easily overlooked. If it sucked, though, a grammar mistake might just cement their opinion of it! I think it would be a little anal to resubmit it, but I don't know much about the admissions process...</p>
<p>don't reread your essays, nothing good can come of it</p>
