Help! I already submitted my Dean’s Honor application, and wanted to ask a serious question. I think my essay is very good-- it is personal, interesting, and creative. But, I stayed up very late the night before writing it because I wasn’t sure if I wanted to go to Tulane at all, and so I only got to ask a few people to proofread it. After I submitted it, I found two typos that made me want to cry. One is “moves” instead of “moved”, and the other is “my” instead of “by.” I am afraid that the readers will be distracted by these errors, and that this will cost me the scholarship. I have very good credentials otherwise, and a good essay aside from the typos, and a few minor grammatical mistakes. Do you think this is going to cost me my scholarship?
