I accidentally wrote "University of ____ University" for one of my secondaries. I re-read the essay at least 4 times, and have no idea how I possible could have missed that! Asked someone else to proofread it too...

So I've seen other threads about minor typos, and the consensus was to let it go. But considering a mistake this big, is there anything I can do? Any sense in contacting the school about it? It's one of my top choices, and I didn't even use a recycled essay!

Thanks so much for any insight!!! I'm going into ultra-panic mode about this.

Wait, so all you did was duplicate a word?

Chill, they won't care. It's a whoops, it happens.

If you typed the wrong school, or if there were several errors, then I'd consider contacting their admissions person, but that doesn't seem the case.

Good luck in your cycle.

I didn't catch any other errors during my reread. I just wrote "university" twice, but it seems like a pretty big mistake; mainly because I wasn't sure if this counts as a misspelling of the school's name.

Thank you so much! Starting to calm down more. Best of luck to you too!

Did you accidentally tell the adcoms at this school that you sometimes crap yourself at night? If not, don't worry.

I did write about not wetting the bed anymore as my "greatest accomplishment" essay.

Here I was thinking you accidentally wrote "I cannot see myself attending another medical other than Stanford" when the secondary was from Wayne State. Accidentally writing University twice isn't the worst thing you could have done. Relax and chill, otherwise this whole process will give you a heart attack!

This is not a big mistake. Now go enjoy your saturday.
