<p>Upon being deferred, I read my application essays again and noticed two typos :(.
Plus, after reading one of my essays again, it makes me sound like an arrogant jerk; not helpful for someone who chose not to interview!</p>
<p>How can I correct the typos for regular decision? Just email the admissions people?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I’ve read that the summary created for each applicant is kept for RD. I don’t think you can correct them, but you can add supplementary essays that might help to offset the first few.</p>
<p>is it too late for you to interview for RD? That might help…
and I had a typo too…which makes me look careless…:(…and you know, now that I think back, I wish I had written my essays on other topics too…oh well, I can’t change it…</p>
<p>^ In a similar vein, I don’t like my short answers that I submitted to Yale SCEA (didn’t qualify to apply to MIT EA, unfortunately), and they came off as too stuffy. I don’t think I can change that, though. T__T</p>
<p>I found this yesterday, about typos, on MIT’s website. I posted it on another thread, but just as a quote, without the URL.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>So probably don’t worry.</p>
<p>See if you can schedule an interview. Ask very nicely.</p>
