Noo

I have errors in my essays and I already sent them!

common app essay: I wrote "recall" instead of "recalled" (Tense error)
supplement essay: I wrote I learned ways to adapt to and endure
Short Answer: I misspelled "Ultimately" and put "Untimately"

OMG OMG I NEED HELP!!!!

Should I send corrected copies or should I just leave them as they are!!?

^^ That's harsh.

I'd say that we're humans. We're flawed. We make mistakes. It really just depends on how forgiving they are. They may just spend a mere 30 seconds skimming/reading over your essays or really delve into the specifics of it.

Truth of the matter: you really don't know.

Do I think that "you're toast"? No.

As far as sending corrected copies, I really have no idea. I would honestly and personally say no but then I know many people who would confidently argue against me and insist that you send in corrected copies.
