<p>So I turned in my application to LMU on two days ago and I was looking at the printed version of the application and noticed I made a mistake on the additional autobiographical essay on the LMU writing supplement. I was talking about music was a big part of my life and in the last sentence of the essay I put “Playing the saxophone has been a fun and life changing experience for me, and it is a talent I want to keep working at and cannot imagine giving it up for the world.” Instead of “at” it should be on. Will I get denied because of this one mistake?</p>
<p>that whole sentence is grammatically incorrect</p>
<p>Loyola Marymount to you: potential college, highly coveted</p>
<p>You to Loyola Marymount: four years of tuition payments, highly coveted</p>
<p>If your other metrics are good, I’d say you shouldn’t worry about anything. Collegebound is correct though: your sentence is REALLY bad.</p>
<p>“Playing the saxophone has been a fun and life changing experience for me. It is a talent I want to keep working on and I cannot imagine giving it up for the world.”</p>
<p>T26E4 do you think this grammer mistake would be overlooked by the admissions people. I have Received good grades all throughout high school, Have three teacher write me letters of recommendations, two college professors write me letters of recommendations (one who is my uncle from UCLA and another who is a friend from West Chester University) and one from my music teacher. I have participated in my high school’s marching band for four years and have been a section for two and a soloist for my senior year. I also participate in pep band, jazz band, traveled to Europe with my high school, did a mission trip to New Orleans and I had a college visit to Loyola Marymount University during my spring break in my Junior Year. Plus my the rest of the additional comments essay, my common app essay and my LMU writing supplement are in top shape. Do I look like a have a good chance now?</p>
<p>“T26E4 do you think this grammer (sic) mistake would be overlooked by the admissions people.”</p>
<p>“If your other metrics are good, I’d say you shouldn’t worry about anything.”</p>
<p>BTW: Please do not send SIX rec letters to any further colleges. No one wants to read that many. LMU asked for ONE and you decided to send SIX.</p>
<p>With LMU’s application in, then it’s water under the bridge. Don’t repeat that mistake with other colleges. Submit what they ask for – you’re not a special case, getting to be evaluated by more stuff. That’s not how it’s done.</p>
<p>“The thicker the file, the thicker the kid” Ultimately LMU will likely overlook this and chalk it up to your exuberance. Please follow the directions of institutions you approach.</p>
<p>Dude? They had a maximum of three teacher rec and three other recs I know what I’m doing, and dude we’re all human, everybody makes mistakes. Oh and that was my last college app, I sent like 25 I’m exhausted, give me a break</p>
<p>Friend: just because Common App has room for three, doesn’t absolve your responsibility to read what each colleges’ requirements are:</p>
<p>[Apply</a> Now - Loyola Marymount University](<a href=“http://admission.lmu.edu/apply/]Apply”>Apply - Loyola Marymount University)</p>
<p>It says ONE. Good luck to you.</p>
<p>It says one is required not one is the max</p>
<p>Then why don’t you submit twelve with that logic?</p>
<p>Good luck King. I won’t reply further.</p>
<p>It says one is required not one is the maximum you can send</p>
<p>It’s six, can you do math?</p>
<p>t26E4, marry me</p>
