BIGGEST BLUNDER EVER? (kinda funny :P)

Applying to College

<p>Alright, I was filling in the supplements for IIT (Illinois Institute of Technology) and where I was supposed to write something like “IIT is the perfect place for me” i wrote “UIC (University of Illinois at Chicago) is the perfect place for me” and then submitted it. Only seconds after submitting it I realized what I had done. </p>

<p>So is it the biggest blunder I could have made? Does it mean instant rejection? :P</p>

<p>You might call and ask to replace your essay.</p>

<p>It does not mean instant rejection. I went to an info session at Princeton and the guy talked about how you should double check stuff like that because they get tons of essays saying “and that’s why I want to go to Harvard.” He also said it doesn’t mean instant rejection (in fact, some were still accepted) but that it puts off the reader a bit.</p>

<p>That’s not even close to being the biggest blunder ever. For a much bigger and funnier one read this old thread:</p>
