<p>Going over my resume for interviews, I noticed that I made a grammar error.
I wrote "Extracullicular" in one of the descriptions.
The way in which it is formatted, its pretty easy to miss but of course I only noticed it after I sent in my apps. </p>
<p>I did send in this resume as part of Penn's supplemental writing through CA and I'm wondering if its something to contact admissions over. I'm worried that it could even make me look worse as they could possibly not even notice it. </p>
<p>What do you guys think, is my app in the trash?</p>
<p>You are over reacting. No one is going to trash your app because you spelled a word wrong. Especially a supplemental resume which will be skimmed.</p>
<p>I should have noted that I meant the last sentence with some sarcasm.
But do you think it would benefit or hurt me to contact them about it?</p>
<p>If you email them or call them they will most likely tell you the same thing I did.
In all likelihood the person at the other end of the line will take any further action after they hang up the phone.
It won’t hurt you or help you. Like I said it doesn’t matter.</p>
<p>will not* take any further action</p>
<p>Thanks for the help!</p>
<p>I misspelled a word in my essay and I got into a dual-degree program. Don’t stress too much.</p>
<p>Looking back on my application I found a couple miniscule typos. I am not calling anybody about them. I checked over my application numerous times. My parents checked over my application. These things just happen when you are stressed and writing out applications to numerous schools. I doubt you will be rejected for spelling “extracurricular” as “extracullicular.” Penn knows that you know how to spell.</p>
