Are typos going to get me rejected?

Chance Me / Match Me

<p>I recently submitted my RD application to NYU CAS and, only after clicking “submit” I realized that I had a few typos in my application. I proofread my application like a billion times but I asked my mom for a second opinion and she suggested some pretty dramatic changes the last time. I guess some typos slipped in while making those changes. One of them was that I wrote “College and Arts and Sciences” and another was that I wrote “through” instead of “throughout.” Ugh, will this kill my chances?</p>

<p>Here are some of my stats:</p>

<p>SAT 1: CR 680 M: 710 W: 730 (2120)
SAT 2 (not great): Math 2: 650, Hebrew: 690
GPA: My school doesn’t do that but I would estimate around a 3.7-3.8
Course-load: I’ve been in all honors everything since 9th grade (I go to a Jewish day school so I have had 8 classes every semester until this year when I have 9 classes, including AP Calc AB, AP Chem, and AP Gov, which is basically the max amount allowed at my school. I also have a total of 6 B’s on my transcript and half of them were from 9th grade)
EC: Mostly art stuff, including art courses at my school and outside school. I also write for two publications and am art-editor for one of them.
Awards: Scholastic national and regional awards, Congressional art award, Yale Book Award, French Award, Art Majors Award, National Merit Commended Scholar</p>

<p>Do you think I have a chance at NYU CAS even with my typos?</p>

<p>Yeah I remember I put Philadelphia Enquirer instead of Inquirer for stuff that I read regularly. I felt so stupid because I read it every day. I got in though, so a few typos definitely WON’T KILL YOU. Relax.</p>

<p>Ok thanks for the reassurance, guys. </p>

<p>I’ve just been freaking out a little because I applied to Yale early, which was a HUGE reach, and got rejected. So, basically, now I kind of have that mentality that I’m going to get rejected from everywhere…especially since NYU is getting much more competitive each year.</p>
