<p>I was just reading over the application I submitted to UMich last night and found that I said "what I will be almost surely be taking" in my additional info section. As if that weren't bad enough, in one of my essays I used "dangerous" when I wanted to say "dangers". I cannot believe that I didn't catch either of these mistakes when I proofread my app three times! Of course I only find them AFTER I submit the application! I've read that grammar/spelling mistakes will make admissions officers immediately discount your app. I have good stats 2220 SAT (780M 750R 690W), rank 7/197, 3.97 UMich UW GPA. Have my chances of getting in just gone drastically down?</p>
<p>stop the worry man, you are sure in.</p>
<p>Thanks ExarKun, I feel like a weight has been lifted off of me that would have plagued me for the next two months. Funny how somebody whom I have no idea who they are can have such a calming effect on me.</p>
<p>any time :)</p>
<p>i found some grammatical/spelling errors in my app last year... i got in
don't worry about. they'll only read your app for like a one minute anyway.</p>
