<p>I applied REA and now I'm horrified.</p>
<p>"...as I'd hear so many times before."</p>
<p>"Hear" should be "heard," obviously.</p>
<p>Also, I said I'm on my school's literary criticism team while a my recommender (who gave me a hard copy of her letter) said that I'm on the math and science team. </p>
<p>Are these mistakes as glaring as they seem to me?</p>
<p>Are they glaring? Probably, but who knows.</p>
<p>Does that matter? Mistakes obviously will not help, but it probably won’t derail your application. Of course, you’ll never know. But if it was a reason for rejection, is that the kind of school you want to go to? One that can’t forgive a single missing letter? </p>
<p>What’s done is done. You can stay stressed out, but that won’t change anything. If you want peace of mind, make sure your RD apps are flawless. That’s really all you can do at this point.</p>
<p>The typo is not an issue. Poor grammar would be. I wouldn’t worry about the team mix-up either. They may notice it- but this one seems like it falls under “minor discrepancy.” They’ll likely just assume the teacher didn’t catch the mistake. Bigger/more significant discrepancies can raise questions, but I don’t think these two are worth worrying about.</p>
<p>He’d can also translate to “he would.” It’s not even as bad as my error.
For one of my essays, I put “see” instead of “seen.” I don’t really think that they would reject you because of your error. If they do, it’ll probably be for some other reason. All we can do at this point is make sure our other RD apps are perfect. :)</p>
