I misspelled Saïd in my personal statement, is it over? [#permalink] New post   10 Feb 2024, 14:32
­I have just submitted my application for SBS MFE and I just realized that Saïd is spelled with the accent over the i and not the a (I spelled Säid twice in my essay). Otherwise my application is well rounded (770 GMAT for one) but I am now overthinking the possibility that incorrectly spelling the name of the institution itself may kill my chances. Am I overthinking this or is this a legitimate cause for concern?

tryggvi Dont worry, your admission fate isn't hanging by an accent, especially with that 770 ! :)

Not at all. The people who assess your application would themselves made such mistakes. All the best

Hello tryggvi,

You need not worry at all; this is as human an error as it gets. They will evaluate your profile for its merits. :-)

All the best!
