<p>I just realized that I spelt "theory" "thoery" in my "why Penn" essay. I know it's just a tiny little thing, but I don't want to give the admissions office any reason to look badly upon my application. Should I be really worried? Should I send in a corrected version? I'm kinda buggin out.</p>
<p>you’ll be fine, don’t worry about it. But out of curiosity, didn’t the red squiggly lines in Word alert you to your error?</p>
<p>yeah they did. And I checked over my essay a billion times before I sent it, and I have absolutley no idea how I did not catch that.</p>
<p>If it makes you feel any better, on my main common app essay I wrote “brought” instead of “bought” and miscalculated my number of volunteer hours (the whole how-many-hours-a-week/number-of-weeks part), so now I have fifty hours instead a hundred fifty. And what’s even more horrible is that I used my Penn optional p217 essay for another school but forgot to erase the 217 footer, so now that school’s going to know I recycled my Penn essay for their prompt. I didn’t catch any of these errors when I was checking over my application. </p>
<p>All in all, I think you’ll be fine. Lol, be comforted that you are not the only one who had typos *sigh</p>
<p>don’t worry about it… I had a typo in the Additional Information section and I got accepted.</p>
<p>lol I almost sent “and that’s why I want to go to Georgetown” to Penn. I caught it last glance over the entire app. Went to view Essay to catch that…could have just as easily sent that in.</p>
<p>Yeah I guess typos are pretty common, and at a quick skim, one might not catch it anyway. Thank’s for the reasurrance guys and gals :)</p>
<p>don’t worry! i made a type in the first few words of my common app 150 word essay and then reused that essay for the georgetown application, and i got in! :)</p>
