<p>My French teacher recommendations should be great b/c I always visit her and stuff. My U.S. history teacher’s rec should be pretty good too but probably not as great as my French teacher.</p>

<p>I wrote a rather interesting essay about flyswatting and how it relates to my great-grandpa.</p>

<p>Now the Problem:</p>

<p>I think I did a bit of a typo on my supplmental resume. Instead of labeling one section extracurricular academic activity, another extracuriruclar nonacademic activity, and volunteer service, I labeled all extracurricular academic activity!!! will this have any negative conotaions on my application at all? I’m really worried, some1 please help!</p>

<p>You have 1600.</p>

<p>The answer is no.</p>

3

<p>by the way, who's who doesn't mean much - its just a scam to get money</p>

4

<p>thks for the responses guys, its jsut b/c i heard that typos = bad first impresssions and I woudl really like to get in 1 college by now so i wont have to worry</p>

5

<p>yea, well i screwed up much more than you. </p>

<p>i put a misplaced word in my essay, mispelled saxophone, and had a split infinitive. </p>

<p>hoping my SAT's scores will cause the admissions to "overlook" them.</p>

6

<p>lol dont worry, I had that experience with my UNC app. Glad there's ppl in the same boat as me ^_^</p>

7

<p>are you serious man? lol calm down!!</p>

8

<p>Haha mine was worse...when I reported my SATIIs, instead of Lit, I put that test that you take if English isn't your first language...they don't even give it anymore! I think they know what I meant, though, since I put that English IS my first language. And I had two mispelled words.z</p>

9

<p>you seem to be absolutely brilliant and trust me, i don't think you have anything to worry about it. little things like that don't matter. let's just say, if i had your credentials...i would be more than happy. good luck!</p>

<p>To the OP: BC will never turn down a 1600 unless it is for purposes of yield protection. Take a deep breath, relax, and pat yourself on the back, because no matter what happens you will be going to an amazing school.</p>

<p>that won't matter at all...trust me.</p>
