<p>In my short answer that has been sent to EIGHT schools (including Williams, Hopkins, and Harvard) I wrote "a list a variables" instead of, obviously, "a list of variables." I proofed my application endlessly and still missed this, and my guidance counselor did as well. I made an alternate version for Brown and Cornell.</p>
<p>What now? Ignore it? Revise it and sent it to my reach schools? Cry?</p>
<p>dude, i had to go over this typo about 3 times to realize what mistake you had made, and you’ve already highlighted it!/…there’s no way an adcom who’ll read thousands of apps will notice it…</p>
