<p>So, I was looking at my application summary for a college and was going over my essay, and I noticed that because of formatting there were 2 mistakes in my essay, and I'm really freaking out about them. First, I had the word "plied" with the accent over the "e," like the ballet move, and it didn't show up and instead put an "i" so it says "pliid." I also had 2 hyphens which didn't show up, and it completely messes up one of my sentences. I feel horrible because I edited my essay a million times, but on Microsoft Word. When I copied and pasted from there, my apostrophes didn't show up and I changed those, but for some reason I didn't notice the hyphens. I just wish there was something I could do. How much do you think it will affect my whole app? Should I send a corrected version if that's even possible..? I sent the whole app Wednesday night.</p>
<p>I'm not saying that you <em>need</em> to do this, but if it were ME, I would mail them a corrected version with a tiny note explaining that this is the essay with the proper formatting and to please replace the old one with it. This is coming from a pretty anal person though, just to let you know.</p>
