<p>I just sent this e-mail to my admissons counselor at a few colleges. I just noticed a typo in the first sentence. Should I send another e-mail acknowledging the typo, or should I just ignore it? Will colleges make a big deal out of this?</p>
<p>"Hi, I just wanted in inform the admissions office that I was recently named the state winner for (some competition).</p>
<p>I was hoping that this e-mail could be printed off or some note be made to my file so that the admissions committee could take this into consideration when reviewing my application. </p>
<p>Ignore the typo; the human brain normally fills in what should be there - I also didn't see the error at first.</p>
<p>However, if you really want this information to be added to your file, send a note snail mail. It's much more likely to be filed that way, as they're routinely opening and filing mail, than it is for someone to remember to print out and file a particular e-mail.</p>
<p>Minor typos in anything make no difference. As long as you don't make a large number of them or commit a cardinal sin typo -- like putting "Harvard" when you meant "Yale" -- there is nothing to worry about.</p>
<p>It's of such little significance that it's not worth acknowledging, I would say. Send a snail mail letter, and make sure that doesn't have the typo, though.</p>
