<p>I have made 3 HUGE mistakes in my application process. Ready for them?</p>
<ol>
<li>I forgot to put a school I previously attended.</li>
<li>I put male instead of female.</li>
<li>I put the wrong social security number</li>
</ol>
<p>@ rachelj1222 I made a HUGE HUGE mistake. Or mistakes actually.
Somehow and for some reason I submitted the version of my essay that was not spell-checked, which resulted in my essay looking really stupid and written by some 8 year old who wants to ride on a Ferris weal. Yeah⊠I donât know if I should even continue my application at this point.</p>
<p>I put âmaintainenceâ instead of âmaintenance.â totally counterintuitive if you ask me lol.</p>
<p>actually kind of is. o_O</p>
<p>One essay - phrase was supposed to be âwasting my life,â but I made a typo and it became âwashing my lifeâ!! And this was the last, culminating, seminal sentence!</p>
<p>Got a likely letter there, anyway ;)</p>
<p>On the why Yale? Essay, I put that I wanted to minor In playwritingâŠbut Yale doesnât offer minors! Somehow got a likely from there anyways.</p>
<p>I had a couple of grammatical errors on the cornell supplement ):</p>
<p>Typed out 16 but spelled twelve in my personal statement, literally freaked out when I realized⊠I thought my personal statement was perfection and that crushed my confidence in my self editing skills.</p>
<p>I misspelled Grinnell as âGrinellâ on the supplement. I sort of freaked out and wrote to admissions acknowledging my error the day after I submitted; it turned out all right though, theyâre responded on something on the lines of âItâs coolâ⊠lol</p>
<p>Although I spent so much time editing and reediting my extracurricular statement to make sure it was perfect and it didnât exceed the character limit, the last 5 words were still cut off!! And it was weird because it was cut off for one version of my common app, but not the other, although it was the exact same extracurricular statement. I hyperventilated⊠Oh well, I still got into Duke and Cornell (diversity likelies). Thank God!</p>
<p>Okay so under the member questions for UMASS Amherst I said my parents were US Dual Citizens not a permanent resident should I call the college or email them???</p>
<p>Why would you submit your application SO EARLY??? You have like 2 more months to edit, to think, to go through you application and TO CHECK FOR ERRORS SO THERE ARE NO MISTAKES!!! unless of course, youâre applying for ED.</p>
<p>I somehow managed to put the wrong ss number on my common app. Oops:D Though I didnât apply for financial aid at any of the schools. Didnât realize it until I got a phone call from one school, after I was accepted asking why the ss number on my app was different than my transcript.</p>
<p>Not that big of a deal, but I totally forgot to mention that I went on a 10-day serving trip to the Dominican Republic :(</p>
<p>I put an extra comma in the essay I sent to my safeties. Hopefully theyâll overlook it. I managed to catch it before I sent it to my top schools</p>
<p>The âmale instead of femaleâ made me lol. I put I was born in houston when I was really born in Laredo :(</p>
<p>So on my awards part of the application and resume, I wrote that I received a AP Scholar with Distinction Award when I really only had an AP Scholar with Honor Award. I just realized this and I am so depressed.</p>
<p>This, plus I forgot an âinâ and a âtheâ in one essay and one supplement. Oops.</p>
<p>Ugh, this is killing me! Do you think that if I get deferred, I should reach out to the school and warn them of my mistake?</p>
<p>I forgot to complete the current courses section on my application and left out two of my classes, which I planned to take that following Fall termâŠ
Pretty nervous now.</p>
<p>I think I win when I say " I accidently defered my CUNY app after I sent in transcripts and my sat scores". Calling cuny tomorrow, crying today. </p>
<p>I made A LOT on my Elon App.</p>
<p>varisty play instead of player
said âappeals to youth toâ instead of âappeals to youthâ
then instead of than
thrown instead of throne
activit instead of activities</p>
<p>I emailed my admissions counselor to ask if I can edit my app⊠</p>
