<p>my bad. I was just desperately in need of some humor while writing these last minute essays</p>
<p>Look where it got you. You went and peed yourself. Don't be ashamed, it's happened to the best of us. Too many good people are lost during the application process.</p>
<p>Funniest thread on cc so far. LMAO</p>
<p>Who said this thread is supposed to be funny? I'm certainly not laughing suatkilic.</p>
<p>Indeed, this is not supposed to be a funny thread. I am mourning.</p>
<p>Indeed, this is not supposed to be a funny thread. I am still mourning.</p>
<p>We get it stanford09, you're not getting in, but you didn't have to post twice.</p>
<p>this thread is gerat!</p>
<p>What does "gerat" mean? This isn't urbandictionary! Take your slang somewhere else KDMAN!</p>
<p>Get out of my thread and dont post irrelevant comments. Either answer the question (without being uncivilized) or just get out. The way you trashed this thread almost constitutes trolling.</p>
<p>Drink your hatorade stanford09. I AM a troll so the "almost" before constitutes is unnecessary. Oh, and what was the original question again, I forgot it?</p>
<p>hahaa..yeah i m using this as a way of getting out of writing last minute essays :|</p>
<p>well mispelling at an ivy does show a lack of carelessness, but their reading the essays so quickly maybe admissions officers wont catch it? if it is just one word i am sure they wont penalize you ..more than one is a problem though. good luck</p>
<p>^he may be lying though. My friend with a 2370 SAT, rank 5/1200 and 3.98 gpa with some decent ECs got rejected from Stanford, MIT, and Dmouth, probably because of some spelling errors (3+ errors on his supp essays). He wasnt asian either if that makes a difference.</p>
<p>^I dont think Ivys worry about your lack of carelessness, but rather an abundance of carelessness. </p>
<p>ONCE AGAIN, OP, for a serious answer, do a ****ING forum search.</p>
<p>well, I found some threads but nothing practical. even if I made an error once or twice they know English is my second language.They should ignore it.</p>
<p>If you are not enough of a student, and enough of a person, for them to overlook a single misspelling, then your chances were not great even from the beginning I guess.</p>
<p>Whatever gets you to sleep at night.</p>
<p>stanford09 -- You seem to be convinced that it's not going to matter. What was the point of the thread?</p>
<p>^ I agree, just remember as your head hits the pillow tonight, that there are at least 4 rejects for every admit. Do you really think that enough people made spelling errors on their app (IE 80%) for them to begin admitting people with spelling errors on their apps. At least in my thought process, the math just doesnt work out.</p>
<p>stanford09, I'm really sorry, but this thread is pointless. If you had a modicum of common sense, you would've realized before you posted this that one spelling error isn't going to get your application trashed. Just relax.</p>
<p>^ Oh yes it will! It will be ripped to shreds.</p>
<p>The joke's getting kind of old, don'tcha think?</p>
