I recently applied to JHU WF and Vandy and realized i made a typo in the last sentence.
I mentioned “at (college name), where academic opportunities are OBSOLETE…”
i thought the word obsolete meant plentiful and i could vaguely remember it on thesaurus.com bur apparently it means out of date.
what should i do? help!!
You are not the first person to make a mistake in the essay, and you won’t be the last. I don’t think there’s anything to be done (though I defer to posters with AO experience if they have different advice).
so should i worry or not?
will they get that i meant a positive connotation?
What will worrying change or improve? Nothing! So worrying doesn’t add value to your life or your application. The one thing you can do, when you make a mistake, is ask “what can I learn from this?” That way, something positive comes from the mistake.
I expect the schools will know you intended something positive.
thank you.
