last year I had a student say he wanted to attend Wharton in his Columbia essay; and he got into both.

Really?! Hard to believe since CBS is all about yield %

As a former admissions officer, small typos happen a lot more than you would ever thing.

Did you do it on purpose :D :D

Hi, I discovered a typographical error in the resume that I already submitted with my MBA application.

Under interest: I spelled "Basketball" as "Basketball Ball".

I reviewed the resume again and found no other mistakes.

My question is: How bad is this? Should I email the admissions office to send a rectified resume?

thank you for your advices! :cry:

I agree that this is not such a serious issue that you should contact the school about it, if you are indeed sure that there are no more typos.
