Don't you hate it when you find a grammatical error or awkward sentence in an essay that you have already submitted? I was just looking at one of my Tuck essays and found a sentence where I removed a dangling participle but didn't really adjust the sentence properly afterwards.
Well, nothing I can do about it now. Given all the considerations that go into an app process, I'll have to go on faith that one awkward sentence won't kill my prospects.

Re: Reading Submitted Essays
That's why you should not read your essays before the results ;)

I hate that, too. That's why I refuse to review any of my submitted essays. I ran myself crazy doing that last year.

I made a similar mistake of reading a submitted essay and found a grammar mistake and thendecided that I would never read submitted applications again.
In my opinion, these type of mistakes are not going to matter and it's a waste of time reading submitted material. Thank god that the adcom are humans and not machines!
