<p>“upon graduation plan to” should have been “upon graduation I plan to”</p>
<p>Forgot the second word of a NYC college’s neighborhood but it’s no biggie</p>
<p>Originally wrote ___ and proximity to home help to _<strong><em>!" but changed it to “</em></strong> and proximity to home help are bonuses, too”</p>
<p>No major ones… I hope.</p>
<p>I wrote Pursing instead of pursuing -_____-</p>
<p>I have “as oft taken road bore…” instead of “as the oft taken road”.
i missed a “in”.
and have “year” for “ear”, in a supplement.</p>
<p>I am seriously depressed.</p>
<p>I listed incorrect dates for my SAT tests :s</p>
<p>My common app eca had its last two words cut off</p>
<p>I forgot to self-submit my SAT subject tests.</p>
<p>I forgot to answer those random questions on the Harvard supp (like how definite are of your ECs and what cities have you lived in).</p>
<p>I checked “No” instead of “Yes” whether I had visited Columbia’s campus even though I wrote one of my essays on my experience there.</p>
<p>I wrote a free-verse poem on the Stanford roommate essay and the supp cut half of it off (thank God I discovered this before I submitted though).</p>
<p>I was so pressed against time (even though I started on these in August), I didn’t thoroughly examine everything so…oh well. No biggy.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>LOL!! That’s funny…</p>
<p>Oh, yeah and I forgot that my dad had a college degree for some reason and put that he just attended college, not that he had a degree. 
I guess I should fix that?</p>
<p>I mistakenly put for one of my minor EC’s that I participated for 20 hr/wk for 3 wks instead of 3 hrs/wk for 20 wks… Does anyone think I should contact the schools.</p>
<p>In an essay to one school, I talked about their international RELATIONS major when they only have an international STUDIES major. I feel like such an idiot cause I tried so hard not to mix up IS and IR in my apps. How bad is that?</p>
<p>@xenophilia that one you may want to contact them about. they may think “oh she wants to do IR but we don’t even have it here so maybe this isn’t the right place for her.” Just shoot them a note apologizing for the error and provide clarification. check out this thread for suggestions: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-admissions/1270588-correcting-application-errors-after-submission-not.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-admissions/1270588-correcting-application-errors-after-submission-not.html</a></p>
<p>Hopefully it doesn’t matter that much, but I used principals instead of principles. I feel like such an idiot and it sent in all 5 of my top choices >.> Reading the rest of these does make me feel better though. Hopefully AdComs can realize we’re all human, even if most of the people who apply to CalTech aren’t ;_;</p>
<p>In an essay about the Olympics, I wrote about the all different “counties” in attendance. Guess they didn’t catch it, or care, cuz I got in anyway!</p>
<p>I just sent out a fellowship application, with glowing rec. letters and three stunning essays, only to see that I listed myself as having taken three “independant” studies. I always thought it was hilarious that the Gotham Independant Film Festival couldn’t spell, and now I’m one of them!</p>
<p>Gah!</p>
<p>I took two SAT Reasoning tests, and forgot to report the first. Oops!</p>
<p>After submitting my common application to American University, I realized that I put wrong section in my honors and awards section. I was on Dean’s list two semesters and President’s Scholar one semester. However, in my common application, I put 2 semesters on President’s Scholar and 1 semester on Dean’s list instead. I didn’t mean to be dishonesty. I wonder should I contact with AU admission officer? any suggestion is appreciated…</p>
<p>I submitted the horrible English typo known as incorrect hypotheticals on my Yale AND Harvard app. “If I was” instead of “If I were.” Go me!</p>
<p>I used to instead of too on my BC app and have not received a decision yet. I just hope that the person reviewing my app isn’t a grammar Nazi who gets extremely annoyed with these type of things (I know these type of people exist). The thing that bothers me the most is that I KNOW the difference between to, too, and two; your and you’re; their, there, and they’re, etc. It was just a careless typo. Ugh!</p>
<p>I submitted my application to my top choice college with 2 mistakes. The dates when I started high school and when I graduate. The months and years are correct, but the days are wrong. I also did not have anyone read my essay before sending it in. Should I contact admission?</p>
<p>I forgot to write that I am a CSF Sealbearer on my academic honors section</p>
