I just noticed that I been spelling the word regimen as regime after a week of e submitting my pharmcas app. I misspelled this word multiple times on my Pharmcas essay and now I feel like crap. I was wondering if the schools will serverely dock me off for this?

Wait.. what? World regimen as regime? World regime? Or did you mean "spelling the word regimen as regime"?

Anyway, I believe that the admissions committee puts a lot of emphasis on one's ability to spell - not just because it sounds more professional, but because spelling is very important when practicing pharmacy. Drug names can sound ambiguous from each other and the ability to discern one from another through careful spelling is crucial. I learned this through one of the pharmacy club meetings by a pharmacy school admissions representative who spoke that evening.
 
meant to type word*
thanks for the response
 
Hope and pray no one notices. Spelling mistakes = death. Its a sign of poor proofreading, which, as we all know is kinda important for the 90% of pharmacists who work in community and have to check what the tech are doing and decipher doctor scribblescratch.
 
If this were an essay you had like 2 hours to write, then you would probably get some slack. Instead this is an essay you had months to write. Thus they will see it as a lack of proofreading and a lack of effort.
 
I submitted my application and I noticed that when I copied/pasted my essay into the text format, it left out the tab on my first paragraph. So, my first paragraph is not indented. Pretty crappy, but it is what it is.

Hopefully whoever reads it understands that it was a simple error between formats and not some sort of grammar issue.
 
Considering drugs often differ in as little as 1-3 letters and that the difference between a dose of X in the one vs a dose of X in the other can literally mean the difference between life and death, they care.

I can't tell if this thread was designed for this poster or for OP.
 
Misspellings are OK if:
1) you're the boss
2) you're making fun of people

Misspellings might be OK if:
1) the person reading it doesn't care
2) you have job security
3) you have other amazing redeeming qualities (ie you're a good worker, awesome GPA/LOR's, you have a really nice rack, etc...)

Misspellings are NEVER OK if:
1) you're applying for a job or residency
2) you're the student/intern

It's all halo effect -- it's like being on a date with the person of your dreams and they start picking their teeth at the table, you will probably excuse it; however, if the nasty looking piece of trash next to you on an airplane does the same thing, it'll just pile on.
 
Has this ever happened to you?
You work very horde on a paper for English clash
And then get a very glow raid (like a D or even a D=)
and all because you are the word1s liverwurst spoiler.
Proofreading your peppers is a matter of the the utmost impotence.

This is a problem that affects manly, manly students.
I myself was such a bed spiller once upon a term
that my English teacher in my sophomoric year,
Mrs. Myth, said I would never get into a good colleague.
And that1s all I wanted, just to get into a good colleague.
Not just anal community colleague,
because I wouldn1t be happy at anal community colleague.
I needed a place that would offer me intellectual simulation,
I really need to be challenged, challenged dentally.
I know this makes me sound like a stereo,
but I really wanted to go to an ivory legal collegue.
So I needed to improvement
or gone would be my dream of going to Harvard, Jail, or Prison
(in Prison, New Jersey).

So I got myself a spell checker
and figured I was on Sleazy Street.

But there are several missed aches
that a spell chukker can1t can1t catch catch.
For instant, if you accidentally leave a word
your spell exchequer won1t put it in you.
And God for billing purposes only
you should have serial problems with Tori Spelling
your spell Chekhov might replace a word
with one you had absolutely no detention of using.
Because what do you want it to douch?
It only does what you tell it to douche.
You1re the one with your hand on the mouth going clit, clit, clit.
It just goes to show you how embargo
one careless clit of the mouth can be.

Which reminds me of this one time during my Junior Mint.
The teacher read my entire paper on A Sale of Two Titties
out loud to all of my assmates.
I1m not joking, I1m totally cereal.
It was the most humidifying experience of my life,
being laughed at pubically.

So do yourself a flavor and follow these two Pisces of advice:
One: There is no prostitute for careful editing.
And three: When it comes to proofreading,
the red penis your friend.

Lol, too funny
 
Hahah. Take it from Taylor Mali, or take it from Mr. T Ferguson, sometimes spelling and grammar can be the difference between distinguishing therapist from the rapist. So ask yourself, do you want to be a Farm Assist. or a Pharmacist? I chose Farm Assist.
 
I submitted my application and I noticed that when I copied/pasted my essay into the text format, it left out the tab on my first paragraph. So, my first paragraph is not indented. Pretty crappy, but it is what it is.

Hopefully whoever reads it understands that it was a simple error between formats and not some sort of grammar issue.

I did this too, but not by accident. I tried to fix it, but every time I would put the indent in, save it, and look at it again, it would take the indent out. I couldn't figure out how to make the text box on the application accept the tab in front of the first paragraph, so I eventually gave up. I think it's some sort of formatting problem on PharmCAS's part, so I wouldn't worry about it.
