How are your stats?

Oh well, I'm sure the people reading it read it fast since they read many of them and won't notice 1 spelling mistake or won't care much.

i think you are right undergrad, but even so. how did i mess up. i am so upset, i cant get it off my mind.

I'm sure you'll be fine. They go through hundreds of thousands of applications. One extra "r" isn't going to make or break your application.

I'm sure it'll be fine as long as you didn't type your entire essay in the same style as the thread name.

You're done.

You're done.

why do you say that

 

[pacific2013]

OP, don't worry about it. It's nothing like what my fellow Ph.D friend did. My friend in Ph.D. program wrote I would like to go to "A so and so " University for his personal statement when it was a personal statement specifically for "B so and so" University. He of course didn't get an interview to the school he misreport but got accepted everywhere else.

 

[peerless218]

have you at least tried calling AADSAS to see maybe if they can fix your error for you? I did the same thing last year and they were nice enough to let me fix 2 places

Dental school is going to be a bigger roller coaster for you than most if you fret this much over ONE typo. I honestly doubt they will even bat an eye at it, they read so many personal statements, I can't imagine any adcom would write to the side "Note: this applicant misspelled a word. Use extreme caution."

haha! thanks super, you're right! i've calmed down about it now

I missed a whole word in my ps last cycle if that helps . Funny thing is I think they didn't even read my ps, or at least not far enough to see the missing word.

 

[peerless218]

omg peerless, was it in your ps!

One in my personal statement and one in EC section when I typed dnetle instead of dental. Ya I was freaken out like you did when I realize the errors but hey, everything turned out fine. It'll be ok!!

RELAX, Breathe.

If you're that worked up over one R, what are you going to do when you accidentally spray water on a patients face? Nervous breakdown?

To snaggletoof, that small typo won't make a difference I don't think.

Besides, it relates to a dental procedure, and you're not a trained dentist yet anyway.

If you try to edit it, you may end up screwing up your entire application.
