<p>I was just going through my common app and I found that in the Additional Information part I typed out 'my' instead of 'by'... I remember reading on some college site that 'We expect your essay to be grammatically perfect and not have any typos'.. but that was the essay (this was the additional info). Will this affect me or am I just being paranoid?</p>
<p>1 typo they notice, but as long as there aren't two I wouldn't worry.</p>
