Taken right out of Vanderbilt's secondary:
Write a brief autobiography. As completely and precisely as possible, give a picture of yourself, your family, and events you consider important in you.

This is the second grammatical mistake (assuming that it is one) I have found in the secondaries (UCLA was first). I just love how they derail us if we get one comma wrong in the PS, but they can have messed up secondary prompts. Comments?

Yeah the UCLA one made me giggle. But I really don't think they're as hard on typos and little grammatical mistakes in PS/secondary essays as some claim. Yes they should be more careful, but eh - they have a lot to do this time of year.

yeah, you should mention the type-o in you p.s. they should view you as being superior and interview you. if they reject you it means they're just jealous, and you shouldn't want to go to such a school anyway.

this is my profound comment about the common type-o.

More importantly: What a stupid question! Write an autobiography? Please.

UCSD has the same thing - I actually thought it was kind of fun and different.

dont point it out to them. they will think youre arrogant b*stard if you try correcting their grammar. the questions go through tons of proofreaders so they probably wrote it like that for a reason, who knows why though

maybe its part of the test of getting into their school. anyone who points out their grammar mistake gets rejected automatically. we know that they have people proofread before things go out to applicants so i bet they do make mistakes on purpose

New agey I guess, the events are "in" you as in making up "you". If that's true, I'm glad I didn't apply there.
