Accidentally wrote oateopathic

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
In terms of copy/paste mistakes, that's pretty bad. Almost on par with putting another school's name on a different school's app.
 
Accidentally wrote osteopathic in md essay for secondary...no chance for an interview from this school?
This is really insensitive. In order to make up for this mistake in judgment I suggest you write an apology letter to the people you slighted:

All the osteopathic schools informing them of your mistake on your allopathic application.
 
And spelled osteopathic wrong too, I say perhaps writing is not your forte.
 
I'd say you dead meat at that school. In all seriousness, it's a med school application we're talking about, and if you can't be careful with something that important.....

I did the same thing. Is it that big of a deal? Kinda freaking out.
 
Wait so you wrote' "oatopathic" in an MD essay? Not a DO essay? Did I read this wrong or did you make two mistakes?
Also did you at least have a succesful cycle ( at other " oatopathic" schools).

I wrote that I am going to start shadowing a osteopathic doctor on a md school secondary.

This is not that bad in my opinion. I would have probably not emphasized it was an ostheopathic doctor though. I've sent DO letters to MD schools, particularly those that have said they want such a letter (Rosy franklin, UCF etc.)

I did that last year-- I didn't expect an interview but was given one after submitting a secondary with labeling it a diffferent med school name haha. You never know.
 
It took me forever to realize you didn't write oatheopathic instead of osteopathic for an osteopathic school. I was thinking, "I'd totally type that." Not sure on the situation - maybe they'll take it in stride and laugh. Probably not, but it really depends on the attitude of the person who reads your application.
