I'm so embarrased... I made the most classic mistake but in the most unclassic way. I just realized that my first sentence to the "why RUSOM" essay contains the name of another medical school. What's crazy is that the sentence was supposed to be removed completely. I was deciding between two different style intros to use for the essay and ended up writing something completely different, but somehow didn't notice one of the template sentences was still there. Even with me rereading it (like I do everytime I paste my essays into the supplemental applications), my mind must have read right over it. This school was a top choice for me too and I put so much effort into those essays. Even applying to as many schools as I did, the mass majority of my essays are completely original, just using "inspiration" from things I've already written." That's why it's taking several hours to complete each one. I e-mailed admissions letting them know that my essay was supposed to start with the second sentence and asked if it is possible for me to submit an updated essay. SMH. I'm toast, because I'm not even competitive. My essays are the only thing I have! So many hours put into writing those essays... I'm just so disappointed and wanted to share that with you guys because maybe someone else has experienced this as well. Goodluck to everyone still in the running and please pray for me if you're into that type of thing!
