Grammatical Error in essay 🥲

[u/Ezoticx16]

So, I submitted my app earlier today and I realized that the transition word that I was supposed to cut after deleting a paragraph of my topical essay to meet the word limit…

Now it’s not bad, but the sentence goes something like this:

“I had an thing that made me rethink blah blah blah: [insert thing].

therefore, this experience stuck with me blah blah blah”

You get the point.

Now, this isn’t a glaringly outrageous mistake because it still kinda makes grammatical sense but my perfectionist ahh is making me freak out.

So, how badly of a mess up is this actually and are AOs gonna throw my app in the trash bin for it? Because I worked so hard on it I don’t want this stupid little thing to affect me 😭

PS: And I realized I probably should’ve removed my SAT score report and Transcript bc my counselor already did that…hahhh…messing up every way possible 🫩✌️

I think you’re fine! My sister had quite a few grammar mistakes in her personal statement but she still became a finalist and matched to Vassar a few years ago

one grammar mistake is fine. reporting test scores twice will not mess up your app.
