STUPID Typos/Spelling Errors :(

Applying to College
1

I’m really hoping to get into GT & Emory for regular decision and I noticed these following errors in my application:

  • 2 typos concerning a missing letter in a word
  • 1 typo concerning a wrong acronym for a club name in EC section *thankfully, no typo was in any essays

Sent out emails to colleges about some of these issues. I found the club name typo and one of the missing letter typos recently and haven’t done anything about that. Any similar stories out there? And anyone who’s gotten in despite silly typos? I am very, very anxious lately. I can barely look at myself, to be honest… :frowning:

Don’t email colleges about typos!!! They seriously have so many better things to do and they’ll know what you meant to say.

Thank you for your advice @rebeccar

I know someone who got into a top 10 school with a minor typo in each essay. So long as you didn’t put the wrong school’s name you will be fine!

Thank you too for the reassurance. @green678

Have you counted how many threads are on this forum with the exact same topic? It’s fine.

You’re right, thanks @Matt846
