What's the WORST thing you've ever done on a college app?

<p>I wrote my common app essay about going crowdsurfing at my first concert. </p>

<p>Bad judgment? Probably.</p>

<p>I said my mom graduated from a totally different university than the one she went to....</p>

<p>my bad. Don't know how I could mess that up.</p>

<p>Well, I repeated "in itself" like 2 times in an essay.. and.. I didn't put a space after a comma.. and I misspelled something. I also said 'appealing' several times. That was in my first college app ever @<a href="mailto:@">@</a>. It really, really pains me to read it. To the point that I squirm and can only skim it.</p>

<p>i said effervescent was my favorite word for princeton, must of thought i was an alcoholic…</p>
