Yeah, to be honest, you give conflicting reports. You say Columbia is your dream school, that you spent so much time on the application, yet there are more than one mistakes. Something's not right here...

only 2 mistakes. Spelled Alladin wrong because i thought it was spelled that way all along until someone pointed it out after it was too late.

Left out a word because i imagined it to be there in my mind and didn't give it second thought... everything else is gramatically clean though..

You have impressive stats, so I'm sure you have a good chance at being accepted. However, this should teach you to proofread. My family friend is on the Harvard admissions board and she says that simple typos can be your undoing, especially at an exceptionally competitive school like Columbia. Gotta be frank, those typos were pretty sloppy, and this was your app to an Ivy League...good luck.
