<p>OMG...now i'm editing my Columbia essay for my other college essays...and i found stupid mistake!! i won't tell because it's so stupid and i don't want to be laughed at -_- i don't believe it! i re-read my essay like 10 times!!</p>
<p>I spelled athlete "athelete" on my application. Don't feel bad. :)</p>
<p>yeh i've done that but thankfully there were no mistakes in my essay.. there was a mistake in my app tho.. i left a bit blank.. i emailed the answer to that q 2 weeks after the deadline.. and they seemed fine about it..
hmm anyhoo.. i'm sure they dont scrutinize every bit of the essay in detail jsk don't worry..
i think ive read ur essay before.. is ur email jisookim?</p>
<p>nah...i think i sent you e-mail requesting my revised essay..you didn't get it?? did you post it up in cc?? where is it?? i think i'll need it..i'm applying to other colleges and i'm gonna apply before i get my rejection letter! oh, and i'm also applying to Brown..arn't you?</p>
<p>i didnt ever edit ur essay nor did i ever post it up..
i just remember reading it on the old boards.. i think it was urs neway otherwise i woudlnt have emailed u about it.
but yeh i read it on there.. i ever edited it or anything like that.. just spotted a few things..
dont u have copies of ur own essay?</p>
<p>yeh im applying to brown.</p>
<p>Dude, dont worry. I fould a stupid mistake in my essay too. It is about the overall picture.</p>
<p>i put "i am a person that" instead of "who"</p>
<p>yo did we have to list anywhere in the app the other schools we're applying to?</p>
<p>no.. i didn't even know which schools i was gonna apply when i filled out my Columbia app..</p>
<p>I left out a word. I said "Maybe it has easier for me" left out the word "been". I'm obviously a loser.</p>
<p>They're gonna flat-out reject you for one single typo. Imperfection is unacceptable.</p>
<p>LOL...........
Finally someone said what we were all thinking.</p>
<p>I feel your pain. When doing that with my essay I found I put two words in the wrong tense <em>gasps in horror</em>
Oh... I'm so disappointed. I'm known as a grammar nazi at my school.</p>
<p>i had two antecedent probs, and i couldn't believe i didn't notice them. then i realized, hey if i didn't notice it after reading it 45345345 times, then how will they?</p>
<p>i am just worried abou tthe kind of noticeable discrepancies btw resume and app. i am just hoping they won't read the resume, bc it is not required after all.</p>
<p>my god guys.. dont u proof read.. and didnt u get other people do read it?</p>
<p>i'm sorry.. but it's just totally inconceivable how u can let simple grammar mistakes like that just pass through..
it's for COLUMBIA!!! how could you want anything short of perfection..
even perfection doesn't increase your chances in admission..</p>
<p>lol...
sorry for being a jack arse argghh im so stressed... i actually made a wee mistake on my app too .. i LEFT out the "activitiy 2 summers ago".. i left it blank.. so i sent the answer in by email and it was "fine" lol...</p>
