Typo on Personal Statement Forum

[mcbaker31]

I've only submitted 2 applications so far, and luckily they were not to any schools in my top 3-4. However, I discovered 2 very small typos in my personal statement.

1. I was talking about the letter "R" and I did not close the quotation ("R).
2. I put a space between a comma and the preceding word (suddenly , )

How badly will these impact my chances of getting into these schools (Duke and UCLA). Should I contact the admissions offices and resubmit my personal statements?

Thanks!

You've GOT to be kidding me. "R you serious!?!?

Don't sweat it man you'll be OK. They probably won't even notice it.

If it was Yale you would be effed. As is, you are probably ok. I don't have anything to base that on though.

Neither one of them is that bad, if anything they are going to think that you rushed through it and are going to be a little more critical. However, if your numbers are good enough to get you in, those mistakes won't hold you out IMO.

...unless Yale is like his 4th choice. I mean, if he gets in, ya know he'll think about it...but its not like he's dying to go there.
