<p>There weren't any grammar mistakes in my essay...but there was a subj-verb agreement error in the TITLE!!!!</p>
<p>O no, am I dead? (Note: I already sent in the apps)</p>
<p>AH! I want to KILL MYSELF...do u think i just killed my chances? I am desperate.</p>
<p>lmao, nah doubt itll hurt you that much</p>
<p>what is the school you are applying to</p>
<p>HYP and stanford and some match/safety schools, but all the same version of the essay.</p>
<p>ooo... that might hurt then... small grammar mistakes might show to some of the top names...</p>
<p>don't listen to these ppl, i had one blatant error, where i had it "each each" and didn't recognize it b/c one each was at teh end of the first line and the second one came at the beginning of the second sentence. No one caught this, i had it edited by others. It didn't hurt me at all.</p>
<p>Is a title expected on the essays? If so... **** :</p>
<p>I don't put any on mine...</p>
<p>may lord be with you....</p>
<p>well, what was the title? sometimes it's okay to be unconventional in titles</p>
<p>for no title? Most essays aren't novels, I don't think there needs to be a title, especially for essays 500 words or less.</p>
<p>It shouldn't hurt that much, I wouldn't worry about it. After all, you have already submitted it.</p>
<p>title ain't necessary</p>
<p>Unless it is blatenly obvious, like "he are going to the store" I don't think it is going to matter.</p>
<p>Well, I am sorry to bring this info, but I was reading an article written by a member of an admissions commitee for U of Penn. HE mentioned an essay that said "I am interested in Berkley because..." (The school applicant was applying for was U of Penn!!!) He threw it away immediately because of the mistake. Though, your mistake and the applicant's mistake varies signifiantly.</p>
<p>I don't know. If it was in the essay, fine, but the title just gives off a bad impression. </p>
<p>Then again, it may have been minor. What was the exact error?</p>
<p>mich: One of the MIT adcom members, Brian Nance, had this to say about that: "Do not copy and paste admissions essays. If we read '... and that's why Harvard is my dream school' WE'LL TRY OUR HARDEST TO MAKE YOUR DREAM COME TRUE."</p>
<p>;)</p>
<p>Dreams comes...that was the error -___- am i screwed?</p>
<p>I want to cough up blood...."dreams comes". Will HYP kick me out just b/c that?</p>
<p>I'd say no. they might even take it as an intentional title? Dunno... just an optimistic suggetsion...</p>
