<p>My counselor just noticed that at the end of one of the paragraphs in her letter, instead a period, she put comma. Its already sent.</p>
<p>The letter is pretty much amazing; however, will that comma mistake make any difference in terms of her letter being fully considered? will it make her appear less careful, less responsible and less respectable? She took a great amount of time to write a great letter and I would not want anyone to discredit her for little mechanical error.</p>
<p>uh…
this is really ridiculous
i normally would leave it at that, but i actually can relate
one of my teacher recommendations was really poorly written (she let me see it ) and she used bad grammar, etc.
but it was still really praising and honest and a good letter
and i still got in
i think they’re looking more for content than anything else</p>
<p>but you’re still ridiculous
can you honestly imagine them in their committee room saying “ooo, her recommendation has a comma where there should be a period. reject!”
no.</p>
<p>I have been admitted to Stanford through the early action already and had a similar problem… I had added a letter s to a word in one of my supplement essays that was supposed to be singular, but did not no notice that until after I was given my decision…so don’t worry about it!!!</p>
<p>Haha, I’m going to agree with everyone else before me. My guidance counselor made 2 major mistakes: she wrote that I took AP Chem and Bio (in place of Physics and Bio on my transcript) and that I was first person in my family to go to college (when I clearly stated that I had a brother in college already)… I also spelt “Institute” incorrectly when typing down an extracurricular activity lol … And I still got in!
Don’t freak out about the little things – good luck!</p>
