Mistake on supplemental essay

I just turned in a list of books for my writing supplement but accidentally wrote that I would list 5 books in my thesis even though i only listed and discussed 3. How bad does this look to admissions?

Will they understand that it was just a stupid human mistake?

What you are having is submissions-remorse. You pushed the submit button and are now discovering errors in your essays and are panicking. If you keep looking, I’m sure you will find more errors in the coming weeks. Admissions will probably not even notice the error. Go do something fun to take your mind of the lottery you just entered and come back to CC in mid-December. You’ll be much saner for having done it.

Very true. Thanks for the reassuring words, and I’ll do my best to keep my mind off of it
