So I was recycling a secondary essay, and noticed that when talking about public health research, I accidentally called it "pubic health research".

I don't really have a point, I just thought it would maybe ease the tension of you guys who are going crazy with secondaries right now. :laugh:
 
Haha roll with it. During interviews, you gotta convey that passion for STD's.
 
Lol. That's unfortunate, but someone may get a laugh out of it and overlook it. Good luck either way!
 
If you go on Google Scholars and search for pubic health, you'd be surprised how often it happens in published papers.
 
In all seriousness I was really worked up about small typos I noticed in a select few of my secondaries, but I got an interview at one of those schools so far. I think schools understand the process involves writing A LOT, that its completely normal to make typos, and rereading your stuff a million times actually causes you to become TOO familiar with it and overlook little things.
 
Hahah thanks guys. I'm not too worried about it honestly, I just thought it was really funny.
 
Haha, I would not read my application over at least the sections where I cannot edit until the end of the cycle. It just adds to much stress if you find one error that is silly, and you worry about it too much.
