Depends on where they are and what you have misspelled.

yup. especially if u accidently put the f instead of the l in the following:
"My results had a lot to do with my good *uck!"
 might look pretty bad then!

I am dejected and disappointed at my mistakes. I probably speak and write better english than my mother tongue. Got a 300 on toefl and a 750 in GRE. i am hating myself right now.I had actually corrected the mistakes but had my application open at two places and sent the uncorrected one. GOD HELP ME.This whole process is gonna drive me insane.

if you tended to spell the british way like i did, i don't think it is going to take a lot from your chances...
good luck...

PDs use a 600 times magnifying rear and front tripod projector in a theatre based surrounding to analyse each application.To move from one paragraph to another they have to board a train .Senetence to sentence movement can be accomplished in a car while word to word movement is done with a bicycle or an electronic scooter.Fuel expenses incurred are provided by the program .
One pd was well known for doing this movement by walking and running.After two years of resident recruitment he left his job and went into professional running.HIs name is Carl Lewis.
HOpe it helps .

That's not a mistake, don't worry about that one. I mean colour and color are the same, honor and honour and center and centre.

Nope.I havent been hanging out in your office,I came up with this fact after i completed my recent research.This research looked into the reasons for the prodigious inflation in train fares ,car prices and fuel prices during or in anticipation of the residency recruitment season.
I correlated the consumer price index with the increased sales of means of transport in areas where residency programs are located.On deeper investigations I found out that some programs have dedicated large land area to this purpose.The most concerning and discerning finding was revealed in case of Harvard medical school which has such one recruitment theatre which is almost of a size of two big states together.Its called PDY5 .
bbb i could have submitted my "market theory " for consideration for nomination for noble prize if you had not made one spelling error in my last post so egregious .Now i will channel my energy into my application.
Thanks

Heck, I don't even know if I understand what you wrote. I think that it made my brain bleed. And math is the only thing that usually does that.
You have way too much time on your hands. I have filing from two years ago to be completed. I can use a volunteer.

Every PD that I currently know review applications on the computer, not on printed copies.

thanks bbb for sharing info.
thanks laptop for your sense of humor.
enjoyed the post a ton.
budesonide, I believe yo do no need to worry though i understand your concern. Personally, I submitted my CAF 3 days ago after very tedious correcting and do not want to review and do not know whether I would want it, since there is nothing I can do. good luck
