<p>Grave Mistake 1- I got a high fever of SAT IIs this weekend...so no SAT II scores...kinda screwed for early apps</p>
<p>Grave Mistake 2- put domestic student instead of international student</p>
<p>Grave Mistake 3- I don't want to apply ED anymore</p>
<p>katie1229: Can't you contact the school and say you don't want to do ED anymore? It would suck if you got in and really didn't want to go.</p>
<p>I spelled Ithaca wrong on the envelope!</p>
<p>I submitted my common app yesterday thinking that it was the writing part except it was actually my unedited version of the supplement page. I was working on the real one on microsoft word....</p>
<p>Ahh! Now I have 3 grammar mistakes that are so conspicuous it may likely bring damage to my entire application! I wrote "it's" when it should have been "its" and I repeated a word in the same sentence. I also ended a sentence wrongly...</p>
<p>Ahhh this is so bad and I am freaking out right now.
Should I call the school to tell them my technical mistake? Or will that bring even more attention??? HELP!!!</p>
<p>Spelling the name of the school wrong on the envelope won't be TOO much of a problem because assistants are the ones who open them up and file them. I doubt they'll be anal enough to write a note on your application telling the officers of your mistake. If they are, I wouldn't want to go to that school anyways.</p>
<p>I just skimmed through my Common App:
- I missed a "the"
- I misspelled "month"</p>
<p>I also submitted my first app two minutes past the scholarship deadline (Nov. 1st) and forgot to give my counselor the Secondary School Report (which I gave to her today, thankfully). </p>
<p>Ahhh, isn't this process fabulous.</p>
<p>Ughh...posted this in another thread but I write two different hours for a certain activity I did. Wrote 12 hours in the Activities section (that's how many hours I had anticipated volunteering before I actually started) and 20 hours in the resume I attached in the Additonal Info section (the actual number of hours per week I did). </p>
<p>Guess I'll be writing to the schools? :(</p>
<p>i wrote the wrong sat date, instead of 5/08, i accidentally wrote 6/08
does anybody know what to do?
please help, because i'm kind of freaking out since i used that application for four schools.</p>
<p>It's not a big deal, ah1200. They'll figure it out once they get your SAT score report.</p>
<p>I sent in the wrong draft of my personal statement essay to one university. They asked for a maximum of 500 words, I sent my real draft with 700 words instead of working more to take 200 words out... I had completely forgotten about it</p>
<p>In my activities section, I said I was doing Academic Decathlon this year. I wasn't paying attention, and I submitted my app with the box checked that said I wanted to do Acadec in college. =\ Too bad it's only for high schoolers.</p>
<p>I forgot to sign the waiver of rights on the common app teacher rec forms before my teachers mailed them! I emailed the schools, though, and they said it is just a technicality that will not impact their admission decision.</p>
<p>OK, this isn't a grave mistake but I mispelled "r</p>
<p>I put i wanted to attend in spring of 09 not fall of 09 but the person emailed me and asked if it was right and I got it corrected.</p>
<p>i didnt put my school code on one of my teacher rec letter forms and i put the wrong number of credits for my calc3 and LA classes but put the right number on my online thingy.</p>
<p>My biggest mistake is I procrastinated too long. I'm applying ED by the 15th. I just gave out Rec forms and I didn't start my essay yet. Wow.</p>
<p>.. I could have entered QuestBridge, but when I got the email during March I forgot about it. Now I can't join and it could have helped me so much. Sadness.</p>
<p>I forgot to turn in my financial aid stuff for ED applicants for UPenn because I thought it was due with the FAFSA.</p>
<p>i dont think i made any mistakes but in my app one of my ECs was a research project. at the time of app deadline i didnt have enough info but with more info i guess i could make it seem more impressive. i wish i can still change it</p>
<p>HAA. none of yours compare to myy mistake lol. For one school I thought the commonapp supplement said it should be like a short answer (like 150-250 words) for what major you're interested in, but of course - it is a 500 word serious essay that is highly considered in the admissions process. freakin greaaat.</p>
