<p>OMG…now i’m editing my Columbia essay for my other college essays…and i found stupid mistake!! i won’t tell because it’s so stupid and i don’t want to be laughed at -_- i don’t believe it! i re-read my essay like 10 times!!</p>
<p>I spelled athlete “athelete” on my application. Don’t feel bad. :)</p>
<p>yeh i’ve done that but thankfully there were no mistakes in my essay… there was a mistake in my app tho… i left a bit blank… i emailed the answer to that q 2 weeks after the deadline… and they seemed fine about it…
hmm anyhoo… i’m sure they dont scrutinize every bit of the essay in detail jsk don’t worry…
i think ive read ur essay before… is ur email jisookim?</p>
<p>nah…i think i sent you e-mail requesting my revised essay…you didn’t get it?? did you post it up in cc?? where is it?? i think i’ll need it…i’m applying to other colleges and i’m gonna apply before i get my rejection letter! oh, and i’m also applying to Brown…arn’t you?</p>
<p>i didnt ever edit ur essay nor did i ever post it up…
i just remember reading it on the old boards… i think it was urs neway otherwise i woudlnt have emailed u about it.
but yeh i read it on there… i ever edited it or anything like that… just spotted a few things…
dont u have copies of ur own essay?</p>
<p>yeh im applying to brown.</p>
<p>Dude, dont worry. I fould a stupid mistake in my essay too. It is about the overall picture.</p>
<p>i put “i am a person that” instead of “who”</p>
<p>yo did we have to list anywhere in the app the other schools we’re applying to?</p>
<p>no… i didn’t even know which schools i was gonna apply when i filled out my Columbia app…</p>
<p>I left out a word. I said “Maybe it has easier for me” left out the word “been”. I’m obviously a loser.</p>
<p>They’re gonna flat-out reject you for one single typo. Imperfection is unacceptable.</p>
<p>LOL…
Finally someone said what we were all thinking.</p>
<p>I feel your pain. When doing that with my essay I found I put two words in the wrong tense <em>gasps in horror</em>
Oh… I’m so disappointed. I’m known as a grammar nazi at my school.</p>
<p>i had two antecedent probs, and i couldn’t believe i didn’t notice them. then i realized, hey if i didn’t notice it after reading it 45345345 times, then how will they?</p>
<p>i am just worried abou tthe kind of noticeable discrepancies btw resume and app. i am just hoping they won’t read the resume, bc it is not required after all.</p>
<p>my god guys… dont u proof read… and didnt u get other people do read it?</p>
<p>i’m sorry… but it’s just totally inconceivable how u can let simple grammar mistakes like that just pass through…
it’s for COLUMBIA!!! how could you want anything short of perfection…
even perfection doesn’t increase your chances in admission…</p>
<p>lol…
sorry for being a jack arse argghh im so stressed… i actually made a wee mistake on my app too … i LEFT out the “activitiy 2 summers ago”… i left it blank… so i sent the answer in by email and it was “fine” lol…</p>
