Just submitted my transfer app to Brown-- and noticed a typo in the description of my first activity! I added an extra “and” between “conceptualize and events.” It’s such a careless, small mistake that I’m afraid I will somehow be looked down for it, especially since I submitted the app about an hour before the deadline. I’m going to contact the school tomorrow; do you think this is really a big deal or am I blowing things out of proportion?
You’re blowing things way out of proportion. Though, in the future, you should thoroughly spellcheck all elements of your application.
