<p>i was all ready to submit last night until i couldn't get the stupid photo to work bc i would compress it to fit it but then my teeth and eyeballs would be all peach and weird looking so then it was past midnight and i was like whatever i'll do it tomorrow
but i had looked over the pdf and edited everything and it was good.
thennnnnnn todayyy i got the picture normal looking and i could have sent it out fineeee but then i looked over it one more time and then decided i wanted to change the noun in the beginning of a sentence (for the what i did last summer blurb) and sent it out without rereading everything again and it didn't match the subject at the end of the sentence!! aghh!! aaahhh i hate myself
what do i do :( it's not like thaat major bc it's the summer blurb thing but maybe it shows that i didn't edit? or that i don't care? which i dooo it's just such a stupid mistakkeeee
my friend told me to call admissions.. but is it a retarded reason to call? would they write in my file, neurotic.
ugh :(</p>
<p>well i think it's a good idea to calm down first. I made one single typo in my application (bellow instead of below) and I did feel a lot of regret, but after a couple of bang head on walls I felt so serene and enlightened. I highly recommend it.</p>
<p>And yes, if you think it's that severe your only option is to call admissions.</p>
<p>i just did something even worse, i left off a major state piano honor.
i am so ****ed.</p>
<p>You guys...shush!! You'll be ok, I promise. </p>
<p>If it's that bad call the admissions office. Contrary to some rumours, Columbia <em>wants</em> to admit humans and graduate humans. It's not running a cyborg factory or some large-scale eugenics project.</p>
<p>should i really call them about this? it might seem neurotic. i have played piano for 12 years...this honor is the only one i have ever gotten in my high school years.</p>
<p>cool, i just realized i left out the word "to" from a sentence.
i re read that thing 50 times.</p>
<p>look, spelling-and-grammar check in MS Word will take care of 95% of these issues.</p>
<p>I recently found that I had some spelling-and-grammar mistakes in my application to Harvard Business School. I'm counting on the rest of my application to show that it doesn't indicate poor judgment or english skills. If you don't put the wrong school in the essay or have obviously poor writing ability, one or two mistakes here or there won't kill you. Flagrant typos, maybe, but stuff like that will happen from time to time.</p>
<p>ugh this error only happened because i went back to restructure the sentence. i'm sure they know tha the word 'to' belongs there but i hope it doesnt make it seem like i don't check my application and take it seriously.</p>
<p>so i'm guessing you want us to lean towards not calling the offices about these things right.</p>
<p>Just let it be. They'll know it was a mistake, I wouldn't worry. Looking at your stats and what not they will understand that you can properly construct a sentence.</p>
