Beating a dead horse... typos in a secondary.

[amph119]

I just realized that on one of my secondary applications I wrote "... an ability that I now tapped into then and now on a regular basis." I don't quite know how that happened, it must have been a bad combination of cutting and pasting.

I know that the general consensus is no, but since it happened to ME, I have to ask. Will it matter?

Oh Schwerb...you and your shenanigans.

I was so sad when I read that. I can't believe I missed it.

No top 4% MCAT score can save you from the Department of Redundancy Department! To the Caribbean with you!

Thank you, I needed that feel free to slap me silly if you get a chance.

For you? Yes... of course it will matter... enjoy reapplying

But seriously... you know you'll be fine.

haha Schwerb...you're great!
You're gonna be fine! I've found a grammar error (a small one) in my app...not going to worry about it at all!

At least they'll know you wrote your own essay. Don't think of it as redundancy. You should think of it as double emphasis, you should.

As long as you didn't use any winking emoticons in your essay, I think you're fine.

Hey. It shows that you're not a robot. I'm sorry if you wanted to get into WashU.

However, with your GPA, MCAT, and LORs, I'm sure you'll be alright.

I bet less than 1/3 of people who are reading your secondaries will even notice it. Unless you put it in caps or something.
