supbla20 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Hey I was looking through my admissions essay to WWS and noticed I misspelled a single word in the essay. It is a really stupid word too. I already feel tremendously stressed about this application - do you think it will make a difference that I have a single stupid typo?

Loric Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 (edited) For the record, people on the adcom say they see typos all the time and it's no big deal if it's just one or two or whatever.. but if the rest of your app is weak it makes it look worse.

Jufarius87 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I would imagine most adcomms can spot the difference between a typo and a paper that clearly has not been checked at all. Wouldn't stress about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't stress about it If they bother to read it - see the visual arts forum for the lowdown on "reading is asking too much of the adcomm".

Jufarius87 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Its WWS, there is a great diversity of reasons that we will all be rejected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
