kasbah Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 Everyone's worst nightmare - I reopened my statement of purpose for a program I applied to two days ago, and I noticed a small typo (there should have been an "-ly" at the end of one word.) Can I contact admissions and politely ask if I can resubmit my statement of purpose, or should I just cross my fingers and hope they don't notice?

They'll likely notice it too and figure out your original meaning. If you contact them more you might annoy them. I had a friend get into Harvard spelling it Havard in their essay.

Ahh, this application season is just so stressful. This was for one of the programs I really liked too.

You can see people in this forum freaking out about this issue for years and still getting into top programs.
Chai_latte Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 Don't worry! I had a typo in the second sentence...for my favorite school. I almost died when I caught it two weeks later. I wound up attending that school.
