I have just finished applying to several schools, and just caught a verb tense typo in one of my essays. The rest of my essays are kosher.

Funny thing was that I had three different folks read them, including two coworkers, and my dad and none of us caught it til now... I hope this isn't something that is a big minus.....

Haha, so suppose that two admissions officers read that particular essay.

Then you're basically saying, "I had a very small error, and the first four people who read it didn't catch it, but I'm not feeling good about readers #5 and #6."

Relax! Odds are they won't see it either.

"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."
