<p>Is it a problem if I misspelled one word on my Stanford application? I spelled it ourside, and it was supposed to be outside (a general typo). Is this a big deal or no?</p>
<p>Many people fail to realize admissions officers are people too.</p>
<p>So no, they wont care.</p>
<p>Haha, I realize they're people...but how does saying that they're people mean that they don't care?</p>
<p>What MMEI was trying to say is:
1. They are people, so they won't notice every single error.
2. They are people, so they know they can too make errors even with extreme carefulness. So, they will understand one error.<br>
But if you make like 3+ erros, that will look bad</p>
<p>They are humans, they understand that applicants may have harmless typos in their essays. </p>
<p>Robots on the other hand... pretty ruthless ;)</p>
<p>Yeah, I guess it's just that I've been working "toward" thsi stanford app at least since tenth grade, and now that it comes time to actually fill it out, I have to mess it up like this.</p>
<p>You didn't mess it up. This one typo won't really hurt your chances in any way.</p>
<p>...Unless the sentence from your essay was "Then the cops took me ourside my jail cell for questioning."</p>
<p>lol, Jimmyeatworld711, yea I agree with the above posts, one typo is going to kill you.</p>
<p>I sure hope you meant that it WON'T kill me!</p>
<p>happened to me too, in the most conspicuous of places - the last word in my intellectual interest essay. says "masteriece" instead of "masterpiece." i have no idea how i missed that during proofreading...</p>
<p>is there anyway to submit an edited essay?</p>
