I did something really careless ...

Members don't see this ad.

So I submitted my app. a few days ago but finally got around to checking the pdf for what each school gets, and while reading it over, I realized I made a typo in my manual dexterity section! -___-

basically the sentence went like this: "...drilling, which increased by fine-motor control." I meant to write my fine-motor control. 🙁

I can't believe I never caught that, I went over the app three times before submitting *sigh*

You're doomed.

What's done is done but I'd say that mistake is a very very minor hiccup in your application 😉

thanks... I just felt incredibly dumb, I tried reasoning that "by fine-motor control" can maybe work lmao. Hey, how'd you study for RC? I haven't started yet but I'm really interested in a study method because all I know is search and destroy

I honestly don't think the adcoms will notice it, and if they do they won't care.

So you weren't screwed, after all?

That's good, I guess.

 

[nguyenkimphat]

I seriously am having a stomachache from laughing so hard after reading this thread...

You should obviously have gone over it at least 15 or 20 times before you submit. DS are very peculiar about attention to detail ... so you're screwed. See you next year.





Just kidding

I always come into these threads hopeful of seeing something awesome. I am always disappointed.

Not to be an ass, but what do you mean a "fine- motor control"?

Are you a machine ?

Is it like going from coarse to fine?

I MUST know what the sexual innuendo was...

 

[Rubberpulp]

I made a typo on my ASDOH secondary and still got an interview and then took that same typoed sentence and pasted on the mosdoh secondary and got an interview lol

 

[sgv]

you're fine. most reviewers are blazing through hundreds of personal statements and if your essay was like every other essay and didn't stand out it probably won't garner a second detailed look and it's likely they won't even notice.

sliding the long handle of the vibrating shaft into and out of my mouth until a frothy white foam spewed from my mouth proved to me how important maintaing good oral hygiene with my Sonicare toothbrush really was.

Thats....the....end...of....you


just kidding, just fyi, no one is gonna notice it. I would recommend you NOT to bring it up during the interview, its gonna make you look like an overzealous anal perfectionist

 

[HaverfoodsDDS]

Considering I had to re-read that sentence about 5 times to find the mistake and I was looking for one, you're probably good to go.....

2nded. I thought it was hyphen placement at first. You'll be fine.
