<p>Hey guys,</p>
<p>I can't believe this just happened, but on the NYU application I submitted last night, I made a typo (in the form of a word omission). It wasn't a typo in the essays but a typo in the activities section, where I was supposed to describe an activity but ended up missing a verb.</p>
<p>I'm quite worried - how much will this impact my chances?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>I don't think it is a big deal at all, provided that the rest of your application is error-free. I mean, I had to write three long, thoughtful, well-written essays, and I too left out a "what" in one of my sentences in one of them, but hopefully they won't even notice. It took me like 4 times reading it to finally catch it. </p>
<p>Don't worry about it. :)</p>
<p>It's a pretty funny typo though. I was supposed to put something like "I played for the team.", but instead put "I played the team".</p>
<p>lol.....</p>
<p>LMAO damn your a player, I hope it was the womens vollyball team lol</p>
<p>Don't worry about it. Chances are the readers won't even notice it. They are looking at sections like that for the facts of your activities; so they are not parsing the grammar or writing style.</p>
<p>Then again you may get "style points" given the particular typo :D.</p>
<p>I meant to say Duke but put "Duck" in my essay..</p>
