<p>I just looked over my essays and there was at least 4 typos. Also I didnt really have a structure and it looked kind of sloppy. However, I did convey the message. Arghhhhh</p>
<p>aww. i'm sorry. really i would not stress too much over it. i mean ok you made a few typos but you maybe just so fantastic that they will easily be overshadowed. just have fun till april!</p>
<p>I was admitted last year with a few typos in my application (left out a letter in a word and transposed another) form. My long essay had a few similar problems. Not that I advise doing that, but I would not stress about it since you've already submitted it. They review them fairly fast and are looking for content and your ideas first and foremost. Even if you put a lot of time into your essays, it's easy to miss something.</p>
<p>I just got in and my essay had editing problems. I sent in the online version accidently without updating my essay to fix the errors</p>
<p>They don't care about a few typos, rather its the content that counts. It shows that your app was your work and not edited by or filled out by an adult (i.e. parent). Still, if it looks like it was hastily put together, they might have second thoughts.</p>
<p>i didn't have time to spellcheck but it didn't matter - my most glaring typo was "womyn" b/c i already forget to change it back, but they didn't mind! don't stress</p>
<p>isnt womyn like a trendy feminist way to say women?</p>
<p>"womyn"</p>
<p>that's hot.</p>
<p>"womyn"</p>
<p>That spelling seems to work. It makes me think of "gyno" (Greek root meaning women). This thread is making me feel better, since I was thinking that the spelling errors in my long essay were going to do me in. I mean I wrote one of my final paragraphs about my "insatiable thrust for adventure."</p>
<p>"womyn" is totally legit, though it may give them the impression that your political views are a little radical.</p>
<p>from wikipedia:</p>

[quote]
Some feminists argue that the terms "woman/women" indicate that women are socially subordinate, as "man" is seen as the root for being a human, which in turn implies that women are just a subset of men. Women who argue in favour of the terms "womon/womyn" contend that they have the right to choose how a term referring to them is spelt, rather than be subjected to the choice of the "past patriarchies".

<p>i heart wikipedia...this is what i would bring with me to school <em>wink wink</em></p>
<p>yeah, it's legit in some cultures... but never in any dictionaries...but i always write womyn, unless the teacher makes me change it back. but they don't mind. I wrote it ont he AP Lang exam and I got a 5. it must be good luck. I can't wait to take all 15 units of Feminist Studies next year!! Yayuh! Stanford rox.</p>
<p>I told everyone that Stanford takes kids who are retards hence ignoring lousy essays with typos etc. if you are from the tristate area they accept the essay on toilet paper just to fill their quota from state to state. i mean who wants to go to calif between the fires and the earthquakes when you can go to boston, ithaca, princeton or rhode island........duhhhhh</p>
