<p>Oh My God Oh My God Someone Please Tell Me What To Do! Help Me! I Found A Typo In My Common App Essay And I Have Already Sent It!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111 :-(</p>
<p>hang yourself. You clearly are not going to get into any school with a single typo on your common app essay.</p>
<p>that's not funny spaceball519.. i know i sound dramatic but i am sure you didnt make any typos so you have nothing to worry about.. this was way too important an essay to make a typo on!! what do i do?? theyre going to think im careless and irresponsible! omg please someone comfort me! tell me you made one too and still got into an amazing school!</p>
<p>I'm sure typos are unfortunately more common than not. Any school that doesn't accept you purely because of one typo doesn't deserve you as a student & wouldn't be a place I'd want my kids to attend. Chill, you'll get into many great schools!</p>
<p>Haha, i'm sure you are going to be fine. I'm sure it looks alot worse than it really was.</p>
<p>bump bump bump it</p>

<p>omggggg</p>
<p>has anyone made typos and gotten accepted... to top schools, that is?</p>
<p>I made a typo in my essay to Williams, I said "change" instead of "chance." I was accepted ED.</p>
<p>bump...................</p>
<p>I'm confident that if you don't make it into any of your top choices, then there'll be a better reason than the typo.</p>
<p>LOL this is funny</p>
<p>do you guys think i should send all the colleges a letter of apology and attatch an edited essay (by mail)??????????????</p>
<p>no. the best thing you can do is to just let it go. The typo won't hurt you</p>
<p>Yes, send them a letter of apology an edited essay as well as a million dollars for the time of theirs you wasted.</p>
<p>if you dont have anything meaningful to contribute please dont answer my original post.. i am really concerned and ur sarcasm is unappreciated</p>
<p>I had a typo in my Chicago essay and still got in EA. I freaked out too, but its really not a big deal.</p>
<p>Why are you posting this in the chances thread, don't tell me what to do. Ridiculous questions like yours deserve ridiculous answers.</p>
<p>I'm sure nobody really cares that you made a typo, get over it already.</p>
<p>I wouldn't worry. Reading your typo, it looks like a "computer" error and not a rhetorical oversight. In fact, if you want to look on the bright side, it actually looks like you reworked your essay, put some thought into it, and then just didn't catch the typo. Chill. It'll be fine.</p>
<p>i made a pretty big typo in my BU supplement. not too worried though, they won't not accept you over one stupid typo</p>
