Typo in Ps!!
Realized I misspelled "led" as "lead"... Applied to HLS... It's in the last paragraph. Forget about it or send in a new copy?

They probably wont read that shit bro. All they care about are your numbers. I promise you that.Pancakes12 wrote:Solid advice for sure, but is it going to affect my chances with them!DwightSchruteFarms wrote:Go get hammered.

Re: Typo in Ps!!
It isn't that clear cut. Some people with great numbers get rejected. That has to be for a reason. In all honesty, what should I do?dowu wrote:They probably wont read that shit bro.

Re: Typo in Ps!!
There is a high probability this won't get discovered. I wouldn't draw attention to it by sending another ps.

Alright thanks. But if it were discovered.... How much of an impact do you think it would have?ImNoScar wrote:Also this.skzen75 wrote:DwightSchruteFarms wrote:Go get hammered. It's Friday

Zero. People who are denied with higher numbers are denied BECAUASe of yield protection. I can't imagine them denying someone because of a typo in their PS.Pancakes12 wrote:Alright thanks.

Re: Typo in Ps!!
There's no empirical answer to your question. We don't know how much of an impact. However, if it had a big effect we would see more variance on lsn. There are likely minor errors in many applications, and yet admissions numbers are not that inconsistent.Pancakes12 wrote:Alright thanks. But if it were discovered....

Re: Typo in Ps!!
I agree that it's not likely to have much of an effect, but I also doubt that Harvard is dinging very many high scorers for yield protection. Rather, they're one of the few schools with enough high-quality applicants that they can afford to look beyond the numbers and make decisions based on softs, without worrying about their medians.dowu wrote: Zero.

Re: Typo in Ps!!
FWIW:
Improbably enough, this exact thing happened to me (typo in the final paragraph of my PS to HLS, where I was a fringe candidate). I sent in a fresh version and got in. No clue if it helped. My opinion: Might as well send in a fixed copy.

I know someone who included the name of the wrong law school in one of his personal statements to a T-14 and he still got in.
