Hi, all. I created this account specifically to ask just how serious the consequences of this typo are; basically, in the second line of my college essay (the one that I submitted to Brown, which is my ED, and another school) I wrote “hoards of people” instead of “hordes of people”. I wrote “hordes of people” later, but… yeah. Not sure how to feel right now.
Well, the readers of your essay might not have noticed the typo; the quality of your essay most likely wouldn’t be diminished by this typo; and you fixed it now for the RD applications: so move on, don’t think about it anymore.
super helpful
