he wasn't kidding. why would any dental school give you a second look when there are hundreds of applicants out there just like you that DID look over their personal statement for typos and grammatical errors?

I'm sure one little comma won't hurt...besides, they might not even notice when their eyes are glazed over from reading hundreds and thousands of PS's. I wouldn't be too worried.

shag you're my boy. you'll get in this time!
alright, didn't think any1 would respond to this thread so I guess I will demonstrate what i'm referring to...here's the basic sentence structure as i used in my essay..i will just put two commas where the comma in question was placed.....of course i changed the words, but its the same, just diff. words:
"Being drunk, driving her car, and crashing into a solid brick wall at 150 mph,, plays a very large role in Anna Nicole Smith being a mentally ******ed gold digging skank."
.......it's questionable, i think, at least others have missed it, as have spell checking programs....i dont know, anyways, there u have it. The words "Being" and "plays a very large role", are the same phrases i used in my essay, and are placed the same in the sentence as in my essay. I cant decide whether or not the comma after "mph" should be there or not. 😎

I would say no comma because you would say 'Crashing into a solid brick wall at 150 mph plays a very large role in Anna Nicole Smith being a mentally ******ed gold digging skank.' Comma would not be appropriate after mph. But I still think you have nothing to worry about. If you're that worried, just shag one of the adcom members during your interview visit and you'll get in for sure. 😍 👍

good thinking 😎
The comma isn't in such an inappropriate place that it's extremely conspicuous. SOME grammatists (just pretending that's a word 😳 ) may even argue that it was appropriate usage; others might run themselves into a brick wall at 150 mph. Regardless, I don't think a tired, burnt-out adcom member is going to be breezing through your application, get to that, and tear the whole thing up and burst into tears. I think you'll be fine.
But I do know how excruciating it is to check EVERYTHING a million times, send it, and still feel that you could have done better. Don't worry - everyone has, is, or will be going through that! Have one app for everyone is a pretty anxiety-provoking thing!!
