I just realized while looking online that I spelled Hemingway wrong (spelled it Hemmingway) on one of my applications. I only wrote it wrong twice in a short answer supplement response of about 5-7 sentences. I guess I wasn’t thinking and the spell check obviously didn’t pick it up. How bad could this little mistake effect me? Gosh this is driving me crazy because I can’t go back and fix it, plus I should have known how to spell it. I have no clue why I thought his name had 2 M’s. Will the college skim right over this because it is just a short supplement answer or will this be major?!
<p>Unless they are familiar with Hemingway, I think you're fine. Even if they are, I think they will be forgiving, because it is just a short supplement.</p>
<p>Maybe you shouldn't read your apps again? I absolutely refuse to even look at my essay.</p>
<p>lol tanstaafl You are so right! I don't know why I re-read them because all I do is agonize about every little thing. Hopefully they will be forgiving. I just figured someone like Hemingway would be well-known to admission officers and maybe the mistake would seem obvious. I guess I can't worry about something I can't change.</p>
<p>Hemmingway is an awesome writer.</p>
<p>they'll prolly read right over it cuz they have so many applications to do. i typed the word towards twards, and myself, my parents, and 4 friends, didn't catch it until later. apparently i failed at copy/paste...</p>
<p>Yes, and honestly, it's a pretty easy mistake to make, and very innocent. Not nearly as bad as...oh...leaving the other college's name in. And even that has been over looked. ;)</p>
