Good thing you sent that flub to Columbia and not Brown. During our visit to Brown, the admissions associate heading the informational session used a similar flub as a joke . . . and I quote, " When writing us to tell us that we’re your #1 choice, remember, Brown is not spelled Y-A-L-E!" To which it got a huge groan follwed by nervous laughter. The admissions member then directly followed the joke up with a very serious, “Don’t do that, it the kind of typo that can get you app put aside . . .”

Let’s hope the Columbia folks will let that slide . . .
