<p>Okay so in one of my essays I mention a quotation, and it's "they can because they think they can" but, i accidentally said it was Voltaire instead of Virgil....I CANT BELIEVE I MIXED THEM UP! @#$%!!! Now Im flipping out. My stats like GPA and SATS are good enough for berkeley (my 1st choice) but now i think i might not get in because i miss attributed a quote 8( help meeeee</p>
<p>There’s a good chance that the admission officer won’t even know that that phrase was said by Virgil instead of Voltaire :p.</p>
<p>Are you sure? I’m so scared! I really hope they dont. but if they do, do you think they really count it against me?</p>
<p>:rolleyes: Relax… </p>
<p>And hopefully your admission officer didn’t major in philosophy or classics :o.</p>
<p>If you this is going to be on your mind, I have two suggestions:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Could you discuss this problem with your guidance counselor?</p></li>
<li><p>How about posting this question on the Parents Forum? There are a lot of knowledgeable and helpful parents there.</p></li>
