Hi, I have completed my applications to few Ivy leagues and they are already submitted. However, I made 3 mistakes. I misspelled “principal” and wrote principle.(on 2 different places) And I misspelled representative and wrote representator.these were not in the college essay but in the extracurricular and awards section. Could this mean a rejection from these schools?
If you get rejected, it will not be for typos or grammar mistakes
I too am worrying over the same thing. I accidentally spelt entrepreneurs as entrepeneurs, and since it was a part of an organizations name (the entire name is ___xEntrepreneurs), it didn’t trigger my spell check as it became a proper noun. I’m feeling terrible because I had tried my best to proofread my essays multiple times and my eyes had just become accustomed to the name that I never noticed it until now. Will this spell bad things for me?
100% what @skieurope said. Have direct evidence on this.
@ml2000000009, thought you would appreciate this! (just came across this in one of my social media feeds):
“Shout-out to the typos that make it through three rounds of content edits, copyedits and two rounds of proof reading. I am inspired by your dedication and tenacity.”
