What have you been told about applying to business school? With the advent of chat rooms, blogs and forums, armchair \u201cexperts\u201d often unintentionally propagate MBA admissions myths, which can linger and undermine an applicant\u2019s confidence. Some applicants are led to believe that schools want a specific \u201ctype\u201d of candidate and expect certain GMAT scores and GPAs, for example. Others are led to believe that they need to know alumni from their target schools and\/or get a letter of reference from the CEO of their firm in order to get in. In this series,<\/i>\u00a0mbaMission<\/strong><\/em><\/a>\u00a0debunks these and other myths and strives to take the anxiety out of the admissions process.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n You have worked painstakingly on your application. You have checked and rechecked your work. You finally press the Submit button only to discover\u2014to your horror\u2014that you are missing a comma and you inadvertently used \u201ctoo\u201d instead of \u201cto.\u201d The admissions committee is just going to throw your application out, right? Wrong.<\/span><\/p>\n There is a fine line between a typo and pervasive sloppiness. If you have typos and grammatical errors throughout your essays and application, you send a negative message about your sense of professionalism and desire to represent yourself\u2014and thus the target school\u2014in a positive way. If you have a minor mistake or too (oops, we meant \u201cmistake or <\/span>two<\/span><\/i>\u201d) in your text, you have an unfortunate but not devastating situation on your hands. Admissions committees understand that you are only human, and if you are a strong candidate, the entirety of your professional, community, personal, and academic endeavors will outweigh these blips.<\/span><\/p>\n Do not dwell on a typo or mistake. Do not send new essays. Just accept your own fallibility and move on. ?<\/span><\/p>\n mbaMission<\/i><\/b><\/a> is the leader in MBA admissions consulting with a full-time and comprehensively trained staff of consultants<\/i><\/b>, all with profound communications and MBA experience. mbaMission has helped thousands of candidates fulfill their dream of attending prominent MBA programs around the world.
