Spelling Mistake: Am I Doomed

<p>No...Dont worry...Its not a big mistake...</p>

<p>I read this on Matt McGann's Blog (Assistant Director of Admissions, MIT)</p>

The article said that an admissions officer will stop reading the essay and deny admission to the student just because of a typing mistake. Is that really true? Isn't it unfair to international students, who might make a grammar or awkward word usage mistake because they are not native speakers?"</p>

<p>That's not true, not at MIT, and I'd be surprised if it were true anywhere.
