sooooooooo... I turned in my secondary to ASDOH. However, the idiot I am, I did not spell the abbreviation right in my "why arizona?" essay. I spelled it wrong 6 times ... ADSOH!!!! 😡😡😡

I proofread my essay 5 times and did not catch it until I hit the submit button!!!

Anyone else do something similar? Should I call them monday and see if i can resend it?

Lol...That's why you are not suppose to use abbreviations in formal essays...

It is possible that since they read soo many of these, and they probably read them fast, they may not even notice that slight error.

However, it is also possible they go over them with a fine tooth comb. I would say its a 50-50 shot.

It couldn't hurt to call and ask..unless the person you talk to does not let you submit a new one, in theroy your file could get flagged as having spelling errors which is something you dont want lol

lol, this is why we're always told to have someone else proofread
good luck I hope someone has some advice for you, cause I have no idea what to do!

i'm sure they get it often. to be a dentist you need to pay attention to details and that might hurt you if your evaluators are tight asses. you should be fine because i dont think they look over it with a "fine-tooth comb". they just want to read a compelling story that makes sense and doesn't sound stupid.
