Ruined chances for my dream school?

Applying to College
1

<p>Mistakes on app could cost me admission to my dream school.
In an ill-fated effort to completely rush my application and apply early decision for my dream school, Notre Dame, I made several minor mistakes to my application.</p>

<p>I got it in at 11:59, literally 1 minute before it was due.</p>

<p>Now, with these flaws constantly on my mind, I'm wondering if there's anything that can be fixed or addressed in any way.</p>

<p>Mistakes:</p>

<p>-Essay has 2/3 typos.</p>

<p>-Essay has blank page at end (writing = 2 pages, essay = 3) with no writing.</p>

<p>-A few words of my descriptions of activities got cut off </p>

<p>-I checked "PG" on 4 activities, thinking it meant something else....
<em>PROBABLY THE BIGGEST DEAL... WILL THEY THINK I LIED? im still a senior...</em></p>

<p>Can I fix this in any way? Is it worth emailing Notre Dame admissions?</p>

<p>Thank you for any help you can provide.</p>

<p>I could’ve sworn I saw this identical thread post earlier…?</p>

<p>i said something about that in the other thread.</p>

<p>You are seriously overthinking this. Relax. * You know that Notre Dame is actually looking for reasons to admit you, right?*</p>

<p>haha thanks. i’m a little worried.</p>

<p>Haha, it’s kind of funny that your post was made at 11:59 PM in my time (GMT+8). You could call admissions and tell them about your 4th error, seeing as it could lead them to rescind your application if the adcom is in a bad mood or something. A few typos in your essay only shows that you’re human instead of an academic robot, which I think some of us may be turning into these days (not me, though. I still have a weak foothold on my humanity). If the essay mistake is serious, then contact them because an incomplete essay will HURT.</p>

<p>I guess I have a knack for 11:59…</p>

<p>I’ve heard half say “call/email” and half say “don’t call or email” so at this point I’m still not sure.</p>

<p>Essay mistake is just a few typos (and a blank page after the essay is (correctly) complete.</p>

<p>Woah you scared me there. I thought you meant you hadn’t answered one of the essays. I honestly can’t imagine a reasonable adcom getting mad about that or the typos.</p>

<p>The 4th error really does scare me though. I think you’d be better off to call Notre Dame to try to explain that you weren’t lying on your essay.</p>
