Hi everyone. I recently submitted my application to the University of Chicago ED I and I just realized that I have a mistake in my Common App!
I wrote “We watched the same television shows and the same books.” and not " We watched the same television shows and read the same books."
Is there any chance of getting in at this point?
I have been freaking out about this all day :(((((
Don’t worry about it, the AOs must have seen tons of mistakes and I bet they would not keep this one (if they ever notice it) as a staple for college info session spiels.
You successfully submitted your ED application, and if you are planning to reuse this essay, correct the mistake, focus on the other colleges, and move on.
I agree. Not something to stress out over.
Thank you guys for your help. Just wondering if someone could tell me approximately my chances of getting in. I know this is hard to do but please try!!

Essays:
Have typos (2) but nothing that takes away from the meaning of the essay. other then that i think my essays r pretty good.
Why Uchicago: talked about Creative writing classes + research from a Doc
Option 1 Essay: talked about swimming
Recommendation:
I think they will be pretty good bc my guidance counselor really likes me and I did well in calc + bio.
I know my chances are low b/c of my ACT score but do I have a chance at all?
