<p>In my Yale essay, on the last sentence, I realized I put a period where there should be a question mark. I think it’s pretty that it should have been a question mark. Will this hurt me?</p>
<p>Here’s the sentence:</p>
<p>After all what is a learned man who does not discriminate his tostada from his souffle. </p>
<p>There should of course be a question mark.</p>
<p>I think my essay is great otherwise.</p>
<p>. . . . there should also be an accent over "souffl</p>
<p>really? i never get why people freak out about little grammatical mistakes like that. you shouldn’t worry about such a thing. i believe the admissions committee will not be like: “WHOA, HE’S MISSING A QUESTION MARK” and ponder upon it :P</p>
<p>haha. best of luck to you saints!</p>
<p>right, on the actual essay, there is an accent over the e in souffle</p>
<p>Do you seriously seriously feel that this error will be what determines your entry or rejection from Yale?</p>
<p>Do you really ENJOY freaking out? Sheesh. I wish I could smack you in the back of the head.</p>
<p>CC needs to invent a “like” button like facebook has. <em>likes T26E4’s comment</em></p>
<p>According to the Yale admissions website, “punctuation is not as important as your transcript, but more important than standardized tests when evaluating candidates for admission.”
Sorry Saints.</p>
<p>souffle is a word…meaning a blowing sound. =]</p>
<p>Are people seriously still reading their essays?</p>
<p>I’m afraid it’s over for you, “After all” should have a comma after it XD.</p>
<p>Wow, chill out guys, s/he was just asking a simple question… seriously, no need to get hostile over it.</p>
<p>You need lessons on reading tone from text… ^ Though the XD and blatant humour in most of the posts should have alerted you to the fact that the are being friendlily mocking…</p>
<p>friendlily is such a silly word…</p>
<p>Y no proofread? Y freak out after submit n not be4?</p>
<p>Ugh I love Tumblr memes. Except I think it should be “Y U NO PROOFREAD?”.</p>
<p>hey Nikkor50mm, are you going to go to H if you get accepted</p>
<p>Personally I like Yale better but a large part of the decision will probably hinge on the financial aid package.</p>
<p>Exactly the same here…</p>
<p>Why did you just notice this NOW? I mean, you have nothing better to do than RE-read your apps???</p>
