Was reviewing an essay I submitted to a top 10 school. Found one typo that read "on the in the East Coast." This is the only mistake and it was missed by another person who reviewed the essay. Is this type of mistake an automatic rejection?

Hey army to civilian,

You don't have to worry too much about it. The school understands that typos can be made even after thorough reviews. As long as there aren't too many typos, you should be fine. Schools don't reject good candidates for one typo, they will be more interested in the story you are telling them and your overall profile . I suggest using the chrome add-on 'Grammarly' which is free of cost and catches such errors.

To catch such errors we at MiM-Essay have created a final checklist, that may help in removing such errors and improving the overall quality of the essay.

Hope this resolves your query.

The mistake you mentioned would not result in an automatic rejection. The overall quality of your application and your fit would be way more important so do not stress about it.

Wish you all the best!

Nope, one typo or even a few will not be an automatic reject the schools really take a holistic approach to making a decision and if you are a strong candidate they will make the decision based on this and not one typo. Good Luck!
