Hi everyone,
I have been looking through my first few secondaries and have noticed many punctuation issues like comma errors. I put too many commas in my essays and I'm so worried. Theres nothing I can do and its making me so sad. I'm trying to move forward and be better for my future essays but the disappointment is preventing me from focusing on my future secondaries.

If anyone has any encouraging stories about getting accepted to schools when they had punctuation errors in their essays, that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all!
 
Believe me, unless your prose and punctuations are on the level of an 5th grader, this will have virtually no affect on whether or not you are accepted into a medical program. As you have pointed out, it is done and there is nothing you can do about it. Let it go and if necessary learn from this and move on. For what it is worth, there are thousands of essays much worse than yours. Relax, have a good day, and enjoy life.

You don't use grammar-check functions in Word???

Run your writing thought an AI app to check on grammar and spelling?

I strongly suggest that you focus on improving your writing, instead of looking for outliers in admissions.
