<p>Has anyone made, after looking back at their essays, small errors on their essays?</p>
<p>I'm checking essays I wrote for other schools and I've seen very small things, like I didn't put the word 'with' into a sentence, although its simple enough to figure out.</p>
<p>No, things like that aren't fatal. College admissions officers speed read applications, mainly looking for things like your character, personality, interests. They aren't professional copy editors. Most people don't notice it when you drop word. [Did you catch the dropped word in the last sentence?]</p>
