hey,

well, i clicked submit to early apparently... 🙁

please don't lecture me i should of proofread better, etc, because i know I should have, and i proofread the damn thing a million times.

anyway, there are two spelling mistakes in the 15 item descriptions.

But, the main problem is that one course name is reported wron g(i put course # as 86Y instead of 86).

Among, like 200 units and several pages of courses are they going to even NOTICE that? the unit values still match properly.
are they going to send it back for corrections and delay it and all that stuff.

that would really suck, because i spent a LONG time rechecking all the units, and making sure there were no errors.

Found these mistakes when I'm finishing up the app for NYU, incidentally, that's where i made the final notes on the errors.

Oh well, tell me i'm worried over nothing, b/c that's what i hope. (acually tell me what you really think)

Last year I misspelled the TITLE of an EC (I called my self a "Paramedic Instructotor").

I still got 3 interviews.

Your course number screw-up sounds so minor, they must see this sort of typo thousands of times a day.

I went to a small college, and all my course numbers are "000." I was never even asked about this, let alone had my app held up.

So chill, and wait for the tsunami of secondary apps!🙂

don't worry. at most, instead of a "/" for verification, they'll just give you an "X" and fix it themselves. the aamc understands that innocent typos or wrong course id's happen.

how about typos in the personal statement? i changed them, but forgot to save the changes and then logged in later on and submitted my application.

they're not huge, glaring typos..u can still get the gist of the sentence...but they're there. will they come back and haunt me later on in the game?

Yup, I agree!
