I made a few egregious grammatical errors in 2 of the application boxes for the extracurriculars for a top 8 school! The sentences don't read right.

I'm really bummed because I read everything else so meticulously, but these just slipped by!

I'm hoping that these won't compromise my chances...I'm proud of the essays I wrote and believe they are pitch perfect, and I know my recos are strong as well as other stats. Really hoping this doesn't bring me down.

Definitely lesson learned and fixing for the next application...but any thoughts on how bad this is? Should I write a note to the adcom?

A good question. I would say for one or two mistakes, no need to write them an email, what's done is done.

Yeah man, but you DO gotta watch out for that stuff. Best thing is to get another set of eyes on it. Cause your eye (actually mind) will just pass over that type you made 100 times sometimes.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
