Minor grammar issue in SoP--am I going to be immediately rejected?

[klavierstucke]

Hello,

In my statement of purpose to which I've already submitted to 9 schools I have forgot to place an "a" before a noun where it is needed. Am I doomed?

youll be fine - they wont even notice unless that threw the entire paragraph off (which I dont see how an "a" can do)

[Warelin]

I wouldn't worry about it. This is a reason why people recommend not to look at your SOP after you've submitted.

Thanks for the reassurance.  It looks like most of the schools I applied to allowed me to upload an updated version--so I did that, but I suspect in most cases the reader will gloss over this particular error.

I had an awkward sentence and two sentences that started with Furthermore in a row, still got in.
